I just lost the wifi on my router. I am into the router settings and I see my wifi is turned off. I cant figure out how to turn it back on. I need help. Tina

No, not a virtual button which can be "clicked on", an actual, physical button on the router. The latest edition of the User Manual is almost useless, but you might look closely at the rightmost two LEDs/buttons on the top panel of the router.

You might get some ideas from a widely neglected resource:
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 manual). Did you press it? Further reading might not hurt, either.

Thank you so much! That was it. I had no idea rhey were buttons. I did find a short sentrnce on page 100and something, but it never said were the button was. Thanks again!

The design is questionable, and the (stinking) documentation does nothing to compensate for it. But if you stare intently at the picture in the manual or the actual gizmo, you might be able to discern a slight difference in the two rightmost "LEDs".
