Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Not Sending Wifi
I have the Netgear Nightawk X4S AC2600 router. I have a line that directly connects my laptop to the router, and that is working fine. My computer has internet. However, it is not sending out wifi...
So you tried factory reset?
And you pushed and held the wifi on/off button (2nd from the right on the front of the router) for 2 seconds?
You could try reinstalling the firmware in case something is corrupt in the firmware.
Thank you!
I just tried this. I kept the power on, held down the reset button with a pen (I knew it was held down well enough because the power light turned orange while the others went off) for 15 seconds. However, it still is not working. Any other suggestions?

Wow, thank you so much, plemans!! I didn't realize the buttons on the front were able to be pushed. I guess somehow/someone must have pushed down the wifi button to turn it off. I feel like an idiot. Wow - I am so sorry! Thank you VERY much for your help and saving me from going out and buying a new router. I am VERY VERY thankful!
Glad it worked!
I've got turd monkeys that run around my home and they're great at pushing buttons.

They are there for the benefit of cats, which like to sit on top of a nice warm router.
