WiFi button on back of router doesn't work
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Pressing the WiFi button at the rear of the router does nothing - it turns WiFI neither on nor off. The state can be changed only via a browser. On the other hand, the WiFI LED at the front of the router is always on, whether or not wifi is on.
Is this a hardware problem or is there some other explanation?

If you switch the Wi-Fi off, then the LED should turn off (icon with waves). If it remains on then the LED may be bad. You could try to do a factory reset to see if it responds such as all the LED lights turning on then off.
The manual doesn't mention it but usually, you would need to hold the Wi-Fi button for 2 to 5 seconds.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've concluded that both the WiFi button and the WiFi LED are in fact not working, likely due to a hardware problem. But since the WiFi itself is working I'm not going to pursue the problem any further.
