Nighthawk x10 R9000
I recently upgraded the Router Firmware Version
V1.0.5.8 and both my WiFi 2.4 and 5ghz have gone away, I'm not sure what happened, my LAN works but my WiFi went away, I can't connect my smart tv or my phones, the SSID also went away, not sure what happened, is there a fix for it?

Re: Nighthawk x10 R9000
A couple things you can try (and the order)
1. push the wifi on/off button for 2 seconds. see if it turns on.
2. log into the router and check to see if the enable ssid broadcast is on/off.
3. Try a factory reset. Sometimes firmware can change enough a factory reset is needed. Push and hold reset while powered on for 7-15 seconds. The lights will flash when held long enough. Then redo the setup.
4. Try re-installing the firmware. Maybe it loaded improperly and/or was corrupt. A factory reset only removes settings, it doesn't reload firmware.
5. Downgrade the firmware to a version older. Maybe its got a bug that impacts your device.
Anytime you change firmware, its good to do over a hardwired connection. And if there's issues, a factory reset can fix most of them.
Let me know how it goes!

Re: Nighthawk x10 R9000
Exactly the same problem i've run into.
Router out of the box, connected first time, went throught the setup, updated firmware, 2.4/5ghz went offline cant bring them back, no SSid.
Works thrugh the cable.
netgear support have been extremly unhelpful and if you have a solution that helped will be very appriciated.

Please post about this here for your model router:

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
Good Luck.
