Might give a 30-30-30 reset and see if this changes anything.
Manually reload FW again. Also give Voxels FW a try as well as he is carrying on with FW updates for the R9000 since it's EoL with NG official FW.
If all this doesn't change anything, router may need to be replaed, OR, disable ALL radios on the router and install a external wifi system in AP Mode, something like a Orbi or Nighthawk MESH system or any wifi AP that can be ethernet connected to the R9000.

No. Nothing that can be repaired. Unless you have deep dive equipment. NG doesn't offer repairs either.
