CAX80 All lights are blinking and port lights are solid

My NightHawk Model CAX80 has gone in to a blinking light mode.  The top 5 lights are blinking fast and the bottom port lights 1-4 are solid, no blinking.  I have tried a hard reset, I have unplugged and replunged several times.  I have done this multiple times and rapidly.  I have held the reset button for over 2 minutes.   I cannot reach the router home page.  It is not sending out a wifi signal or a wired signal.  I bought the unit 6 months ago, and it has worked until last night, 27FEB21.  I am at a loss?  I have tried everything I know to do and have tried things I have found in help and troubleshooting.  I cannot find a search that is specific to this problem?  Any thoughts?  Thank you in advance.

    So try a reset with out the coax cable connected and just 1 wired PC. Press the reset button for 10 seconds then let go. 

     

    If this fails, I would reach out to NG support and ask about what your options are.
