R6900v2 Router won’t connect to WiFi

R6900v2 router firmware is V1.2.0.92 I’ve had the netgear router for about a year. Therefore all my warranties are expired, and cannot get netgear support.
I have an Xtream modem from mediacom.
My router has never had a problem before. Contacted my ISP, and internet works great. My R6900v2 shows just the 2 white lights. One solid power, and one blinking in patterns showing that it’s connected to the modem. Even though it’s connect by Ethernet cable to the Xtream, no wifi to connect. I’ve unplugged everything about 20 times. Every which way you can unplug, all while waiting 2 minutes before plugging each in. I haven’t tried factory resetting it yet. Im not sure I even know how to do that. Can anyone tell me how to get the internet to connect to the router?
Please and thank you 🙏

What modem model is it? 

Did the wifi on/off button get hit? Try pushing and holding that for 2 seconds. 

If you hardwire a pc/laptop into the router, are you able to access or use it?
