Netgear Nighthawk X65

My Netgear router has started beeping, about every 15 minutes.  I have unplugged but still happens.  An ideas what this may mean?

 

Thanks!

    Which router?

     

    X65 means nothing to me.

     

    Look for a model number on the label.

    Unplugged what?

     

    We now know what the device is, but not what you are doing with it.

     

    Anything to report from what the LEDs are doing?

    Interesting, have never heard a NG router beep before. Routers usually don't have peizo speaker installed.

    You sure it's coming from the router? 

     

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    What happens if you disconnect it from the ISP modem and disconnect all wired devices from the router and turn OFF the wifi radios? 

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed yet?
