XR700 wireless suddenly disabled

The Wifi on my Nighthawk stopped working suddenly last night. When I look in system information it shows all my network configurations intact, but it says they are all disabled. I can't find a place to enable the radios. I've upgraded to the latest firmware and rebooted but still no luck.

Try the physical WiFi button (the second from the right)! Is the LED under the button on or off?

Best check the LED as @schumaku  suggested - something we accidentally once did and took us 15 mintues to figure out lol 🤦‍♂️

Beware - no cat access allowed to the (cozy warm) wireless routers! And not the first and not the last human who would have disabled it on dust removal.

Absolutely. Because we're always messing with the routers we assumed someone had broken something via software. Took us far longer than it should to solve it.
