X500 WiFi drop
Wifi stopped broadcasting tonight. Wired connection to ps4 still works. Tried rebooting modem and router, no joy. Why would the wifi just stop broadcasting?
Is it possible the WiFi button on top of the router was pressed by accident? e.g. by a pet? Connect via ethernet and check the WiFi page - see if it is broadcasting. If it is then check the advanced WiFi settings and see if the WiFi radios are enabled.
Tried the WIFI button, thought my son bumped it while trying to troubleshoot, but after i clicked it and waited, it didn't start broadcasting. Tried multiple times clicking, no joy. But it automagically came back on sometime during the night or next morning. Working fine now.
