WIFI button does not turn on WIFI
Hi,
I have setup my RAX80 with a WIFI schedule. It's mostly off as most of our devices are hard wired, so we turn on only when we need it. However, the WIFI button on the router does nothing when we press it and the only way to enable WIFI is to login to the admin panel on a connected device.
To add injury to insult, the admin panel now won't let me turn the WIFI on unless I press the WIFI button (which still does nothing)!#$@
The option is greyed out and it says "(This action is currently disabled until the wireless On/Off button is pressed)".
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
BTW it would be great to be able to turn on WIFI via the nighthawk app. 🙂

When you "press it" _how_, exactly?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions, and "WiFi LED" and "WiFibutton". Further reading
might not hurt, either.

This radical concept sometimes helps some people:
• What is the difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7?
• Yes! WiFi 7 is backwards compatible with other Wifi devices? Learn more
