• If your computer or WiFi device is already connected to another WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from
that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the modem router provides. Some WiFi devices
automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• Does your WiFi device display as an attached device? (See View Devices Currently on the Network on page
236.) If it does, it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?
Control the WiFi Radios
The modem router provides internal WiFi radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default,
they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the modem router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use
an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.
You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the modem router, or you can log in to the
modem router and enable or disable the WiFi radios through the modem router web pages. If you are close to the
modem router, it might be easier to press the WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the modem router or already
logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios through the modem router web pages.You can also turn
the WiFi radios off and on based on a schedule. (See Set Up a WiFi Schedule on page 114.)
Use the WiFi On/Off Button
To turn the WiFi radios off and on with the WiFi On/Off button:
• Press the WiFi On/Off button on the top panel of the modem router for two seconds.
If you turned off the WiFi radios, the 2.4 GHz WiFi LED, 5 GHz WiFi LED, WiFi LED, and WPS LED turn off. If
you turned on the WiFi radios, these LEDs lights solid white.
If you want to disable the WiFi radio or radios of the modem router, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when WiFi radio or radios turn off.
Tip
Enable or Disable the WiFi Radios
If you used the WiFi On/Off button to turn off the WiFi radios, you cannot log in to the modem router to turn them
back on.You must press the WiFi On/Off button again for two seconds to turn the WiFi radios back on.
To enable or disable the WiFi radios:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
