Thanks for the link. I downloaded Netgear Genie and it shows my WiFi is not running. My control panel via internet browser shows it running and the light on the "wifi standard" is on for wifi. That's all Genie was able to do for me at this time.
Any thoughts on why this happened so suddenly? I'm running the correct firmware version.

Hard to know. You still, have not told us what model of Netgear device you have.
N450 is a wifi standard, not a model of router or modem. Netgear makes several N450 devices.
