When trying to connect via to Netgear Nighthawk Ax8 Get Error: Wifi disabled network error

Hi.  When we try to connect new devices via wifi to our Netgear Nighthawk router, we are getting the error:  Wifi disabled network error.  I have tried rebooting the router, and have confirmed that wifi is enabled.  There are devices currently connected, but I cannot  connect new devices.  The password is correct and everything else seems to be in order.  Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?  Thank you.

  • What device is telling you this? 

    I've never gotten that error on any router I've ran so I'm curious what's actually giving you that notice. (screenshots help)

    Also, what router do you have (check the label on it)? AX8 isn't a model. 

    what modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    What firmware is on it?
