XR1000v2 running V1.1.0.22
Hi our home network was working well around 09:00 we all went out, on returning we had no WIFI signal, but use devices attached by CT5, no strange entries in the log, so we restarted the router, WIFI...
Have you changed the WiFi credentials from their defaults? If you haven't, when you had to re-enter them was it the default credentials or the ones you set that worked?
The WiFi access is nothing like the defaults as we have a long SID and a even longer Password as in the past we did find people were attaching to the router but never found out who but the WiFi now is hard to type in even with it written in front of me. and we also have a access control list which holds each of our MAC numbers. and when we checked the router via the cat 5 connected PC, the WIFI setting were still as our written notes and I am not even sure we have a note of the default WiFi . once the router had been checked via the PC we then rebooted the router from the menu we were still unable to connect the WiFi devices until we reentered the SD and password, after that everything appears fine again.
