Nighthawk
I have had this a week and it has been fine, then suddenly an hour ago the wifi stopped working, no light on, no reason. The etehrnet connections are working fine. I have rebooted twice and still nothing. Is it fixable or do I need to return ti to the purchaser for a replacement?
- Problem eliminated - I was able through linking to my phone get a Wi-Fi connection and fiddle with the wifi settings on the app - it is now back on fine. I can only assume one of our cats had been in the router and held the wifi button down for a while which had ‘locked’ it off. There is now a cat shield on the router

What actual router do you have? You didn't put a model.
Did you push and hold the wifi on/off button for 2 seconds?

Glad to hear you got it working!
