When you mess around with the settings of bit of the network you need to restart the whole network in the right way.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
By the way AC1750 is not a Netgear model number. It is a label that Netgear, and others, attach to their hardware to describe their wifi speeds. Netgear makes a bunch of AC1750 devices.
On the wifi thing, what did the wifi LED look like? Any chance that someone press the wifi on/off button?
