wifi off on my r7000
I just lost the wifi on my router. I am into the router settings and I see my wifi is turned off. I cant figure out how to turn it back on. I need help. Tina

physical button on the router. The latest edition of the User Manual is
almost useless, but you might look closely at the rightmost two
LEDs/buttons on the top panel of the router.

You might get some ideas from a widely neglected resource:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot". Pay particular attention to the
"WiFi LED" (formerly known as the "WiFi On/Off button with LED", until
some sub-genius "improved" the manual). Did you press it? Further
reading might not hurt, either.
