R7900P abruptly stopped

Woke up to router on but not giving wifi. In the Nighthawk app, the name for our wifi is also reverting to Netgear instead of what we called it. Is the router dead? I can access internet through ethernet, but no wifi.

    Have you checked the WiFi on/off button on the router?

    Factory reset the router using the reset button pressed for 15 seconds then release.
