Wired internet but no wireless

I have treated myself to a D7000 v2 - Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router. 

 

I have got the internet up on my laptop that I have plugged into the router using the supplied cable. 

 

I am however unable to get the WiFi working.  The 2.4 and 5 lights on the router are unlit.  On the Genie the internet status is Good but the WiFi status is not connected.

 

I have screwed in the three WiFi antennas until they wont go in any more.

 

What have I missed?

   Ok.

> What have I missed?

   "The WiFi On/Off button with WiFi LED"?

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Table 2. LED and
button descriptions".  Further reading might offer additional benefits.
