My r8000 has totally stopped broadcasting an SSID.
FW = v1.0.3.32 (sb latest) OS = Win7 Home w/ 10+ Devices (4-5+ at any one time) My r8000 has totally stopped broadcasting an SSID. Reading numerous posts indicates the r8000 is very heat-se...
Millions of thanks to you, LeeH, as I am now up & running again!
I had either forgotten or was unaware of the WiFi & WPS buttons on top of the device. I felt that some place, some way, there had to be a way to turn the wireless on again. I kept seeing, on the Genie, that the wireless was "Off", but could not find how to turn it back "On".
Sometimes one can't see the forest for all the trees.
For me, a hard reset, on any device, is to physically remove all power & other cables.
Again LeeH, thanks a million! You saved me at least $300, which I really didn't have anyway.
I really like my r8000 as it has served me without fail for over 2 years. This has been my 1st issue & ultimately, I was the dumb one.
Have a wonderful week LeeH. Hank :)
Not sure what you are calling a hard reset. Please try holding in the recessed button on the back of the router for at least 10 seconds until the power light turns orange and starts to blink.
The WiFi button on the top of the router must be pressed in for several seconds in order for it to switch on if that is the problem but a reset as given above should also restore the WiFi power.

Oops!! I just saw where "michaelkenward" also gave the solution that worked for me.
Millions of thanks to you also. Hank :)
