My WiFi network is not showing up and i cannot connect to the internet. I’ve tried rebooting the router and i checked that i have the latest firmware. It still does not show up when i search for it.
What about the LED indicators on the front panel? The second one in from the right is for Wi-Fi on/off. Is this one illuminated or not? Farther towards to the left there are indicators labeled 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Are they illuminated?
The Wi-Fi on/off indicator is a combination indicator/switch. If it was accidentally turned off, you would not be broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal. Push and hold for a few seconds to turn off or on. Rebooting the router does not turn on Wi-Fi if it has been manually turned off via the combination indicator/switch.
Also when you are logged in to the user interface, it is possible to turn off the Wi-Fi radios from there. There is one checkbox for the 2.4 GHz and one checkbox for the 5 GHz.
