C6250 wifi broken but modern & Ethernet are fine
My internet service went out last night. It took an hour or so after service was restored to get the modem connected again. All the lights are lit up showing internet access, but the wifi is completely knocked out. The networks don't show up on any devices scanning. My isp confirmed their service is reaching me. Is this fixable?

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed?
Could get another modem or get a WiFi AP system and install it in AP mode, while leaving the C6250 in router mode and disable it's WiFi radios. Or use the C6250 in modem only mode then connect up a external WiFi router system.
The C6250 is getting older in age and may not be working great for your needs. May need to get something new.
did the wifi on/off button get hit with all that messing around?
Push and hold the wifi on/off button for 2 seconds.
