Nighthawk X10 no wifi

The 2.5 and 5 WiFi lights are not on, only the 60 light is on. I have tried turning WiFi on and off using the WiFi button on the unit and I logged in to web UI and tried disabling/enabling that way but still not working. I have tried rebooting, factory restore, updated software but still not working.

  • when you pushed the button, did you hold it for at least 2 seconds?

      I held it in for 5 seconds, I can see the WiFi button works because I can see the 60GHz light turn on and off but the 2.5 and 5GHz lights don’t ever turn on.

        If you've tried that, tried a factory reset, tried reinstalling firmware (in case somethings corrupt), then you might have a hardware failure. 

        How old is it?
