  • You have managed to manually turn off the Wi-Fi radios.  Neither firmware updates or reset to firmware default settings or cycling the power will change the state of the on/off switch.  Once turned off, it stays off until manually turned back on.

     

    When looking from the front of the router, the last two leds on the far right are a combination indicator/switch.  The second one in is the Wi-Fi radio on/off switch.  Press and hold for two seconds then release.  Your Wi-Fi radios should come back on.

     

    This information is in the manual.
