I give up on Netgear. What a time-suck this has been.

In mean time, do you have a different modem or a spare router on hand? You can continue to use the modem portion of the C7800 with the wifi disabled and connect up a different wifi router system. Couple of options would be to use the modem in router mode with the radios disabled and conenct up a different wifi router in AP mode to provide wifi signals or configure the modem for modem only mode and connect up a external wifi router to the modem and run this configuration.
Hopefully someone from NG can figure something out for you.
