R7800 doesn't send WIFI Signal

Hi guys, as you can see my router doesnt send the WIFI Signal although it is activated in the settings. It worked fine until now, as the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz lights didnt start blinking anymore when the router started... what can I do?

  • On the front of the router, the last two LED's on the right side are a combination indicator/switch.  You have most likely managed to manually turn off the Wi-Fi.  With the router powered on, press and release the LED second from the right.  Give it a few seconds to power up after you have released the switch.

      Cats love to lay on routers as they are warm. Down side is they may turnoff the wifi.
