Wired internet but no wireless
I have treated myself to a D7000 v2 - Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router.
I have got the internet up on my laptop that I have plugged into the router using the supplied cable.
I am however unable to get the WiFi working. The 2.4 and 5 lights on the router are unlit. On the Genie the internet status is Good but the WiFi status is not connected.
I have screwed in the three WiFi antennas until they wont go in any more.
What have I missed?

Ok.

"The WiFi On/Off button with WiFi LED"?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Table 2. LED and
button descriptions". Further reading might offer additional benefits.
