AC 1750 WIFI not broadcasting

My router just quit broadcasting WiFi, I have reset and restarted multiple times with no luck.  Power, upstream, down stream and internet lights all green. No other lights are on. Pushing and holding wifi on/off swithch does nothing.

My laptop does not have a network port and I can't connect using WiFi. How can I connect to the router without a network cable or Wifi?

Try pressing the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release then setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser?

AC1750 is a speed, not a model. what actual model do you have? 

did you push and hold the wifi on/off button for at least 2 seconds.

Router C6300: WIFI not broadcasting

The main problem is connecting my laptop to the router. My laptop does not have a network port. USB only.

You can buy a USB device that creates a wired LAN port.

As seen on Amazon, its costs around $£€10. There are many more like it.

 

Always worth having around.
