R8000 all wifi lights and signals turned off after update *solved*

I got update V1.0.4.76_10.1.82
and immediately lost of my wifi signals. No changes or reboots would restore the radios, and they remained off despite all setting indicating they should be on. The Dashboard status was correct, they were off despite being set to: on.

I had to copy all the settings out of the configs, into a notepad, then hardware-reset the router. After it came back up I could restart the setup and enter all my changes back in. The networks came back up and all the devices re-joined without having to re-key the passwords back in.
Unfortunately, hard reset seems to be the only solution.

    Try a full on reset using the reset button in back and press it for 10 seconds then release. Walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser. Router should come back to full ready.
