Firmware version? Connected to what?

"can not" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot". Pay particular attention to the
"WiFi On/Off button with LED". Did you press it? Further reading
might not hurt, either.

The non-psychics in your audience might be unable to guess what it is
or what you did with it.
> it had NO INTERNET AND NO WIFI (ax1800)
"AX1800" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the
product label. I'd guess that there's a User Manual for it, too.

You might try this radical concept which works for some people:

Right. Wired-good, wireless-bad is a local-to-you problem.
