Netgear C6300 Connected to internet but no Wifi

Had the router for a couple years now and never had issues with it. Today when I got home I have no Wi-Fi and hitting the Wi-Fi button on the modem itself does nothing. Have tried to factory reset with reset button but if the Wi-Fi button comes on it doesn't connect to internet then resets again without Wi-Fi.

  • Is the wifi on/off light on or off? 

    When you hit it, did you hold it for 2 seconds?

      Both the Wifi light and the one above it is not lit up. Also the 2.4 and 5.0 lights are off. I did hold it for two seconds.

       

  • This is all the router does. I have reset it with the button on the back and even if the wifi light comes on it cannot connect to internet if the wifi light is on. After it tries for a little bit it resets again and the wifi light is no longer on.

      Are you able to log into it with a hardwired device?
