WNDR3400v2 not coming back on
I tried to hook up to a wireless printer using my WNDR3400v2 to my girls school computers at a foil and know their computer's don't even have my WNDR3400v2 router as an option on the wifi connection ...
From your description it seems that both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands have been disabled, try pressing the wireless on/off button at the rear of the router, give it a single press then wait a minute or two to see if anything changes. See the manual pages 11-13;

No, it does not appear in the list of wifi networks available and yes there are others available, just not mine. I am 7 foot away from the router and both the girls troubleshooter replies as error no longer in range of the previous networks set up. I live in a small town and ours is the only netgear router available usually, so it it easy to see it is no longer on the list of 7 to 10 routers available. Both the girls laptops are the same and both use windows 8. Yet, my PC is connected to the router directly so mine does not have a problem with it.
The printer is Cannon MX922 but getting the girls back on line is my first priority so i have copied your reply about the printer for another day. Thanks for your reply.
Are the two wireless LEDs on the router front panel lit (2.4GHz and 5GHz)? Also have you tried pressing the Wireless On/Off button on top of the router?
Yes i have, and unplugging, waited and replugged from cables and ele., but from your statement, i do see that there are two lights not lit any more; the long ones.
The top light is lit, the check-slash-G, the 2nd one is lit; the circled globe, the next two are not lit; long thin lights. then the numbers 1, 3 and 4 (my PC, and old PC and the roco box) are also lit and all working fine.
