Try a factory reset and setup from scratch on the router?

I'm at a loss. It appears the WPS Wizard is running according to the router, but according to my devices it isn't. It also appears wifi broadcast is off.
- Cycling power on the router does nothing.
- Tried the hold-down-button for 30 seconds that Netgear's site suggests. Doesn't do a thing. The wifi and WPS button lights were off and never came on.
- Running and canceling the WPS wizard was not possible since the wizard's button was disabled and unclickable.
- Managed to get the wifi and WPS lights back on by turning off the wifi via the button on the back of the router, then holding it on for ~10s. Still didn't fix the problem.
And wired LAN still works fine.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
