Can't find router in Wi-Fi settings
Yesterday i woke up and didn't have Wi fi all out of sudden i wasn't able to find it in my settings. The day before that it worked perfectly fine. But i had to go to school and wasn't able to look fur...
Any other devices connected wirelessly? If not, there IS a button on top that would TURN OFF WIFI... is that pressed? It is 2nd from the right next to the WPS button. If not lit, it IS off.
==============
Pressing this button for two seconds turns the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi radios on and off.If this LED is lit, the WiFi radios are on. If this LED is off, the WiFi radios are turned off and youcannot use WiFi to connect to the router
===============
Maybe on and you have a different problem, I'd assume a power off/on would have reset that?
I assume by settings you mean after logging into the router and looking at the WIRELESS SETTING and making sure it IS broadcasting with that setting on?
The button helped me, i didn't know what they were for tbh. But somehow my router still performs really bad. Like, i can surf and all but i can't login to it on my Netgear and Nighthawk app. And i can't get it to play music on my sonos even though both phone and sonos connected to that router
Start a new thread for these. Instead of "can't" though fully describe what you are trying to do with what connected to what and what happened after you tried what.
