R7000 Firmware is updated but wifi doesn't work

[LydiaHO]

R7000 Firmware is updated. Netgear Genie shows internet works but wireless is off.

How do I fix or time to get a new Rounter (purchased in 2016)?

Thanks. All sorted. We couldn’t find wifi on/off bottom.

   As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "updated" today.

   Which "Genie"?  Ever helpful, Netgear uses the name "Genie" for more
than one thing.  Netgear routers have a web-browser interface called
"Genie", and Netgear has offered application programs for various
computers/tablets/phones, which are also called "Genie".

   What do the LED indicators on the R7000 indicate?

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".  Pay particular attention to the
"WiFi LED" (formerly known as the "WiFi On/Off button with LED", until
some sub-genius "improved" the manuals).  Did you press it?  Further
reading might not hurt, either.

   Good thing you cropped off the firmware version in that picture.
