Your modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended and can cause problems with connecting external routers. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
You are correct, the technician from spectrum, made sure that it was still set up and bridged correctly as modem only as requested years ago and it was nothing on their end. I ruled spectrum before reaching out to you however, I think I know what I need to do thank you for all of your assistance.
Try pressing the wifi button on top of the router for 3-5 seconds and see if the wifi comes back on. I think its one of the LED's on the right of the router.
