      Be warned. The wifi button is actually an LED that doubles as a switch.

       

      You would not be the first person to be baffled by that.

       

      The bugger is that you need to enable the wifi in the browser graphical user interface and check that the switch is on. Disable in the GUI and the button is useless.

       

      If a;; the switches are on, them there is another problem somewhere.
