model ac1900 wi-fi is turned off
Up until a week ago, router was working fine; for some reason wi-fi is shut off - i contacted support and did recommendations but nothing worked. The unit was purchased in 2012 - I'm trying to decid...
Purchased new router; as I said, old one no longer functions and cannot be fixed. I appreciate everyone's help, but sometimes you just can't raise the dead.
There is a button on the top of the router, is that pressed in? That will turn off the signal.
Use a browser and check if the wireless SSID is on. It needs to be on to see the SSID. It might be off.
The manual states in default settings, Wireless and SSID broadcast are on , so A reset to default factory settings if done correctly should override the front button. Mine is working fine so I don't want to test it.
2nd led/button from top right is radio off on switch too. Try reading the manual!
I'm sorry, I read the manual and I don't believe i've read any manual that has actually helped. I'm 72, have worked with computers since the 1980's (mainly mainframe), but a lot of this new technology escapes me. I'm not senile yet, but sometimes I think I'm getting close. Anyway, I held the button down for over a minute and nothing flashed. Please bare with me, I'm trying to figure this out. I'd appreciate you patience.
