Netgear Mr6500 fail to broastcast wifi evenif broastcast ssid enabled already.
Has anyone encountered this issue on their Nighthawk hotspot before? It’s an unlocked MR6500, works fine via Ethernet and USB tethering, but will not broadcast WiFi it has beside the WiFi symbol. Is there a command I can run to try to fix it? I’ve done a hard reset already and no luck.

Try a factory reset using the hardware method.

Set up it again and see if WiFi is broadcasting, if not then probably the WiFi chip is fried.
