Lost wifi connections on R6700v3
Lost connection to wifi on Nighthawk R6700v3. When searching for network, it isn't even listed. Downloaded updates through eithernet connection on laptop, pressed reset and still nothing.

Hard to decipher what is going on there.
Does your R6700v3 have an Internet connection?
What is "searching for network"? What network? WiFi? Internet? LAN?
Downloaded updates through eithernet connection on laptop, pressed reset and still nothing.
What does that mean? You downloaded and installed firmware updates?
Pressed reset on what?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
