I am having the same problem. I have also tried all the steps in the fix tool and that didn't work either.

Please advise.

troya13 When you say the same problem, you can't find the SSID or unable to upgrade the firmware of the router?

What fix tool you've tried? Can you let us know more details to determine the next action.

Thank you for the reply. My router has both issues- can't update firmware and doesn't broadcast SSID. I tried the "WNR2000v4 fix tool- Unable to see WNR2000v4 wireless network nor update router’s firmware. " http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27207
