What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your connecting the WAN port of the router to your host router while in AP mode.
Power OFF the router for 1 minute then back ON?
Does the wifi seem to work or have good status in router mode?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I have zero information about the modem since I am just one of the renters in this building. I don't believe there is any issue with it since the many other routers are functioning and I can see them listed as options on my devices. I don't have access to anything but my own wall port. I have never been able to get the WiFi to broadcast. Powering off and on does nothing.
I have not factory reset since the firmware update. I will try that next.
Anything else?

The WiFi is not working in either mode. The lights are on. The settings are correct. And it has not broadcasted. As a router or as an access point. Based on the lights and settings, it looks like it SHOULD be working. But the error persists.
