I pressed the wifi switch on the top of the Nighthawk R6900. Pressing it again does not activate wifi again. Is there a sequence I need to follow to activate wifi?

I actually had to power the router off and hold the wifi switch when powered back on. Wifi did not return until I depressed the wifi switch again. Thanks to the community for your assistance.

Go into the control interface and try turning it on there.

There is support stuff for the R6900 at the end of this link:

>>> R6900 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<

See page 170.

Or use the desktop genie.

Hi rayr6900,

Press it longer until the WiFi LED is lit.
