Hi.
Have a R6700v3 that is 12 days out of warranty and is with my daughter away at school.
Issue is that neither of the 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks are showing as being able to connect to from any device.
-Able to connect via Nighthawk app
-Speed test completes successfully
-All updates done (v1.04.98) and reboots remotely
-No devices are shown in the device manager
-Only the first 2 lights are lit (Power & Connection)
Any thoughts or suggestions on what the issue may be? Or was I a lucky winner of the warranty curse?
Thanks...

This might be hard to believe, but it sounds like you may have switched off the wifi.
I say hard to believe because it is far from obvious that the wifi LED on the top of the router is also a switch. That's why a lot of people turn up here with the symptoms you describe. Cats and children have been known to throw that switch.
Look at the WiFi On/Off button on the top. Press it. Any luck?
The switch overrides the browser graphical user interface. So you can't switch it back on from there.

@michaelkenward Thanks for the info. I sent your response to my daughter to investigate. Will pass along the results either way.

Maybe the button got pressed when the thing was moved.

You nailed it. They had rearranged the furniture and noticed it stopped working after.
Thanks for the knowledge!
