I wonder how that happened.
What does the 2.4 GHz LED on the front look like?
First try pressing the wifi On/Off button.
Next thing to try is the manual.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Check the section in the manual To specify Basic WiFi Settings.
Check that it is set to broadcast the 2.4 GHz SSID.
The "nuclear" option would be to reset the router and set it up from scratch.
