WNR2500 Wifi on/off button
I am having some issues with my wireless router not broadcasting a wireless signal any more. I have done full reboots on both the modem and router, a factory reset on the router itself and tried several different things to turn the wireless on and off. It appears as though the wifi on/off button isn't functioning properly. When I push the button is turns on the light below the WPS button and doesn't turn on/off the wifi. I have also logged in to the router through an ethernet connection and clicked the box "Enable Wireless Router Radio." After then clicking apply and waiting for the changes to happen, it comes back with the box unchecked and no changes made. I'm assuming at this point that there is something definitely wrong with the router and needs to be replaced. Any thoughts or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
factory reset it....push and hold reset button until power flashes ......if still no WIFI (default SSID found on Label) then replace it. The Modem has NO control over the WIFI.......
A properly executed factory reset will set all user settings to defaults which should include WIFI On. The default settings are found in back of the manual.

Yeah I had already done a factory reset and when it powered back up was still not broadcasting a Wifi signal. I figured it's probably just time to replace, but thought I'd ask on here first before coughing up more money for a new one. Thanks
