WRT54GL wireless stopped working

I have been using a WRT54GL for a few years without any issue. Wireless and wired connections all work fine. The other day the wireless network just stopped being seen. I'm broadcasting the SSID but none of our devices see it to connect. Wired connections work just fine (using it now). Logged into admin panel, no changes, no errors. Tried power cycling, tried reboot within admin panel, no luck. No changes to settings on cable modem, router, or computer. Is something fried/worn out after years of use?

 

Thanks

Sounds like the wireless radio died on your router. If you've tried resetting and updating firmware and it still does not trasnsmit the wireless signal it just means it's time for a new router.
