Netgear needs better documentation with photos to assist with finding this button.
Thanks again,

Did that involve a new modem? Or some tweaks to settings?
Replacing a modem can change your network in ways that wreck the settings on your router, which is remembering how it worked with the older modem.
If the suggestions from plemans don't work, you may have to reset the R9000 and set it up from scratch.
Yes, I was required to replace my old Spectrum 100 MBS modem with a new 400 MBS modem yesterday, which casued this problem to happen. If I have to press the RESET button on the bottom of the router, then I will have to wait to rebuild the router settings over the weekend since I do to not want to interrupt my work today or tomorrow.
Thanks,
