I don't know how long I've had this thing, probably less than a year, and have had no issues (from looking at these forums seems like I'm lucky). All of a sudden the wireless stopped working. In the ...

Hi All,
Access the UI and make sure to enable router radio.

If still the same, reset the router.
Hi All,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
I've tried reseting, logging on directly, though now it says I'm not on its network. Even though I'm using a wired connection. While I was logged on, I managed to select enable radio, though it still does not work. It was fine Thursday, but when I got back into town today, my wifi was just not working.
Hi curryfoundation,
Can you see the wireless network?
What is the firmware version of the router?
How many devices are affected?
I cannot see the wireless SSID. I've tried searching for the SSID on my laptop, phone, and xbox one to no avail. I just factory set madhatter, used original settings, wireless is still off. I then went to routerlogin.net and it's telling me the wireless is turned off.
Even though the radios are set to be enabled, it still says wireless is off. The kicker is that, the hard wireless button is lit up like a christmas tree informing me that wireless should in fact be on.
Firmware Version V1.0.1.14_1.0.59
try resetting the router back to factory specs using the reset button. Also double check your adapter settings in Control Panel to make sure you are acquiring the IP ADDRESS and DNS ADDRESS automatically.
Once you have done that, try connecting wirelessly to the default SSID that comes up after the reset. Let us know what happens.
