SSID Broadcast

SSID Broadcast

SSID for 2Ghz stopped broadcasting.  I have restarted, turned off/on "Enable broadcast" and applied, but cannot see SSID as available wireless option.  Need this as many home devices cannot connect to 5Ghz.

Re: SSID Broadcast

Is there a button on the outside of the gateway that let's you turn on or off the wifi? If so press it for 5 seconds and see if that changes it, if not press it for 10 seconds if it has that button.

There is a on off button at the back close to the coacts connection. I press that but that didn’t solve the issue.

Be warned. The wifi button is actually an LED that doubles as a switch.

 

You would not be the first person to be baffled by that.

 

The bugger is that you need to enable the wifi in the browser graphical user interface and check that the switch is on. Disable in the GUI and the button is useless.

 

If a;; the switches are on, them there is another problem somewhere.
