Tried both options. With no change.
I am not sure i understand how changing the speed of the wireless signal would affect the devices failure to broadcast any signal at all.

Hello there
Just a thought as I do not know what Devices/OS you are connecting to the router or what your overall environment is?
I do know that wirelss problems can be a pain to deal with as you can get interference from a range of electrical devices, other networks on the same or neighbouring channels, or just the router getting hot and failing or a bug in the firmware?
Have you tried using a wireless diagnostic program/app. I used to have a good one on Windows, which showed all the available wireless networks and there relative strengths etc. I don't have anything on my Mac at the mo (though I think there might be something built in) but I do have a good one on Android called OpenSignal which shows both mobile and wifi sigals. Just google something like "wireless diagnostic app/program your platform" and see what comes up.
Hope this helps to get to the bottom of it.
Cheers Basil
