My Wi-Fi all the sudden went off. The first two lights are on and all the others are off. This includes the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz lines. I have reset rebooted unplugged, and none of these are worked. I have also attempted to set up a new router (with my existing one) edit does not Get detected. Any suggestions?

    First two? These lights do have labels.

     

    Are they the first two on the left? Power and Internet?

     

    Have you tried pressing the second one in on the right? That's the wifi on/off button.

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Check the section in the manual Troubleshoot With the LEDs.

    What does that mean? What did you do? Why did you do it? What happened?

     

    In general, adding two routers to a network is a recipe for chaos.

     

    You can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.

    This explains some of the other drawbacks.
