XR700 Router stopped broadcasting SSID/no wifi
Yesterday afternoon, my wifi stopped working. What I mean is I could no longer find the SSID, on any device, and cannot connect. When I log into the admin page, on the home page it shows the wireless ...
After factory reset I went through the whole setup in dumaOS and changed my SSID names and set everything back up. When I go into wireless settings it shows enabled and allow broadcast. The 2.4ghz and 60gz LED’s are lit, the 5ghz won’t light up though. Smart connect has been disabled since I got it, by recommendation when I originally unboxed and set it up.
So in the Advanced Settings > Advanced Wireless the radios are definitely turned on? Despite those LEDs working they still don't broadcast as well as the 5GHz? Plug the router directly into a wall outlet if you have it plugged into a power extender. If it's still not working then I think you may need to get a replacement as it's a possible hardware fault.
