AC1750 (Archer A7) no Internet after firmware update

Hello,
A few weeks ago I got a notification that there was a firmware update available for my Archer A7 AC1750 wireless SOHO router. I stepped through the process and was able to complete the firmware update with no hang-ups. However, once I did this, I now have no access to the Internet through this router.
Every light is green when plugged in, including the Internet light, and I can still connect wireless clients to the router with ease. But I'm getting no actual connection to the outside. I bought this router only 6 months ago and it has been working fine since the update. I have reverted back to the Linksys router that I replaced with this one and I am able to get Internet through that. My connection to the ISP is just through an ethernet line that has been wired through my building, so no modem to reboot. I have tried a factory reset of the device and still nothing.
What confuses me is that the Internet light is solid green, and the Tether app shows that my connection to the Internet is "good" when I diagnose. But Speedtest.net gives me nothing and even the Tether app shortly after I run diagnostics starts to frizz out as it realizes it can't actually get out to the Internet.
Has anyone encountered this issue and do you know what I could try to remedy it? Thanks.
