CG3000DV2 WiFi quit working

[tgar]

After Comcast had an outage, the wireless feature on my router quit working.

My cell phone does not see WiFi available.

My smart tv does not see the network.

My Windows-7 computer cannot find the wireless network.

On the router box, the model is identified as N450/CG3000Dv2

In the manual, it is referenced as CG3000Dv2

I would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

Hello tgar

You can do a factory reset to see if that will get the wireless to activate again if you do not want to do that right away I would try changing the name of the network and seeing if you can connect to it.

On the front of my router is a wifi button, intended to enable or disable the WiFi.  I pressed this button and the associated light went from 'off' to 'solid green;' this enabled the wireless card.   Also on the front is a WPS button.  Pressing the WPS button allows WPS-enabled devices to connect.  I would not have found these buttons but for the rename/reset advice in the reply.  Actually, I did neither (rename or reset), but the suggestion caused me to find and investigate the 2 buttons mentioned.

Thanks for the recommendation.
