XR500 not broadcasting SSIDs
So my roommate came home today and complained his phone and TV weren't recieving a signal from the router. I logged into the router and my wireless status says 2.4GHz and 5GHz are both disabled.....
- Aug 27, 2021It does disable WiFi if pressed but won't change that on the interface so it would appear as the issue you described. If that wasn't it then might have been a momentary blip as it's working now. If it happens again let us know

with the wifi on/off button, did you push and hold it for at least 2 seconds?
Many just click the button but it needs to be held for a bit
