Checking the logs I noticed a firmwear upgrade this afternoon to v1.0.4.30_1.1.67.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Start by resetting the router, loading defaults. Save and restart. If this doesn't haelp, I would manually reflash, load setup defaults, save and restart. Let us know how you make out.

I have the same problem. The recent firmware update shut down the wireless radio and it is greyed out.
I tried
(1) reboot from within the router settings/admin page = no results
(2) unplug, wait, plug back in = no results
I have the follwoing:
Hardware Version | R7000 |
Firmware Version | V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 |
GUI Language Version | V1.0.4.30_2.1.38.1 |

Replying to my own post - -
Searching elsewhere on the internet, I found that, there are two buttons on the top of the router (right side). They look like the LED's unless you feel them with your finger. The second one from the right is the WiFi "on/off" button. You have to press & hold it for 2 seconds. In my case, it looked like nothing happened. I then had to go back into Settings and the little check boxes were no longer greyed out. Click the box(es), click "Apply", then it worked.
P.S. my wife had set something down on top of the router, inadvertently pressing the button. Now I have a sign on it not to do that.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
