You don't tell us how you know that there is no wifi. Are you saying that the SSID is not being broadcast and/or is not visible to wifi clients?

 

What do you see in the Basic WiFi Network Settings? (Check the manual for where to find that.)

 

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

 

I see that you also have Internet "Not Connected" so you appear to have more serious problems.

 

Have you tried this?

  • Turn off and unplug modem.
  • Turn off router and computers.
  • Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
  • Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
  • Turn on computers and rest of network.

Hi Michael Kenward,

 

Thanks for replying.

 

I know there is no wifi because:

  • non of my clients (phones, computers) can detect a wifi network named Netgear95 or Netgear95-5G
  • admin panel (192.168.1.1) is showing a yellow exclamation mark and wifi section is showing yellow
  • router indicator lights appear to be normal

 

Basic wifi setting screen attached.
