R6900 wifi switch / button

I pressed the wifi switch on the top of the Nighthawk R6900. Pressing it again does not activate wifi again. Is there a sequence I need to follow to activate wifi?

I actually had to power the router off and hold the wifi switch when powered back on. Wifi did not return until I depressed the wifi switch again.

Go into the control interface and try turning it on there.

 

There is support stuff for the R6900 at the end of this link:

 

>>> R6900 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<

 

See page 170.

 

Or use the desktop genie.

Hi rayr6900,

 

Press it longer until the WiFi LED is lit.
