There's a wifi on/off button on the router. Maybe it got it?
Push and hold it for 2 seconds.

I’d done for many times, the lamps are on but no radio signal. I checked the config in the router, the radio box is no active. I clicked it and restarted the router several times but the box is still empty(not active radio).

What box is still empty?
clicked it? You mean the wifi on/off hardware button on the router? did you hold it for 2 seconds?
If you do a wireless scan (not with the built in wireless) does it show?
Do all devices have issues/
Did you factory reset the router? (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on)- pachan888Dec 13, 2021AspirantThe router hardware button is on, I think it is radio on. But I cannot search the Wi-Fi signal (maybe radio off). I connect lane cable to router to check the software config and get below result. Finally, I fall back to old firmware version v1.0.3.94_1.0.1. Everything become normal and set make the setting as usual.

Try a factory reset next time FW is updated if you run into problems after doing a FW update.
