Wireless Setting Issues
Earlier today my phone suddenly disconnected and was unable to reconnect to the router. My computer and playstation 4 are connected via lan cables, but my smartphone (1+3t) has been unable to connect for the past several hours.
When I went to check online with the NETGEAR genie it said my wireless was turned off, even after making several attempts to reset the router itself. Both wireless settings have been disabled.
Thanks in advance for any advice that can be provided.
The wifi LED is also a button that is a switch.

You don't have a young son, or a pet animal, that turned off the wifi with the switch on top of the router do you?
A case of that came up here over the weekend.

That's a possibility. But I don't see any switches on the top of my router large enough for a cat to flip or press into.
Where exactly would I find it?- michaelkenwardGuru - Experienced User
