If you have made it this far without success, there is a chance the firmware on your router has become corrupted. Any type of a power glitch or interruption may be the cause.
If you have access to the GUI, download a fresh copy of the firmware and flash it over the top of the existing. Do a reset and configure from scratch. Some of your settings may also be corrupted.
If there is a newer version of the firmware available, that is also an option.
Since you have an R7800, you also have the option of Voxel firmware (refined Netgear). See here: http://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/html/index.html

I wonder if there's an option to flash the firmware via USB stiick direclty. (like they do with eg TVs)
