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 ...
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 :)
