Nighthawk Stopped Broadcasting Signal
Our Nighthawk router just suddenly stopped transmitting the wireless signal a few days ago. I have a PS4 that's connected via an Ethernet cable that goes from the modem, to the router, to the PS4, and it's still connected to internet. So I know Comcast isn't the problem, and the modem isn't the problem. On the front of the router, the power light, the internet light, and the the (Ethernet) 1 light are on, but the lights for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are off.
I've tried disconnecting and restarting both the modem and the router, but the router still has the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi TheKesselring,
Press the WiFi button of the router or make sure "enable wireless router radio" is checked.
