RAX80 WIFI shows OFF won't broadcast but shows radios on
Last week i was working from home and the wifi just stopped broadcasting. I power cycled the device and nothing. What's strange is in the login window it shows WIFI OFF. But the check boxes are on for enable wireless radio. I've factory reset it, I've power cycled, I've downgraded the firmware but nothing changes the wifi to on.
it's a pretty expensive paper weight at the moment.

What about the wifi LEDs on the thing?
Remember, the WiFi LED on the top doubles as a switch.
and the wifi on/off button needs to be pushed and held for 2 seconds
The WIFI LEDs are lit, no broadcast. I've pushed the buttons on and off multiple times hoping it was a software bug but nothing.
The Wireless just crashed hard and I can't bring it back up.
How old is it? It should have a 1 year warranty if purchased new (longer in some regions).
You can click on "mynetgear" at the top. Register an account and the device. That should let you check warranty and start RMA if its still in warranty.
