WiFi went away over night. AC1750. Hardwired desktop works fine.
The wifi from my Netgear Nighthawk went off overnight. The hardwire connection to my desktop works fine. I have tried everything I found on line - power cycle modem and router, hold the router power switch in for 15 seconds, push the reset switch. Nothting helped.
Netgear Nighthawk app on my iPhone doesn't help because of no WiFi connection.
Any help out there?
what actual model do you have? AC1750 is a speed.
did you push and hold the wifi on/off button for 2 seconds?

Thank you for your reply. It turns out my problem was pilot error. I didn't realize the WiFi On/Off light was also the switch. It was off. My router rests on top of the back of a large printer against the wall, no chance of inadvertently throwing the switch. WiFi returned when i turned it on. Also, the printer power was off, worked fine when turned back on. I think there was a power flicker or surge over night that turned both devices off.
I was already middle-aged when 1200 Baud modems entered the work place, so I appreciate this helpful forum.
Glad it was an easy fix! they aren't always :)
