Cannot get Wireless network activated

platypus · 5 Aug 2009 at 20:12

Just got a netgear wnr2000 wireless n router, and am connected to it via etheret.

Cannot for the life of me enable the wireless network; I've set everything up by logging in as normal, then in desperation factory reset the router and ran the setup wizard.

It just appears that the wireless networkisn't activated, but I can't find out how to turn it on..?

This has a button to turn the wifi on or off i think.
Have you got it switched off by any chance?

In Advanced -> Wireless Settings, make sure that "Enable Wireless Router Radio" is ticked.

You sure?
Below is taken from the product page on ocuk
`- WiFi on/off button to turn off the signal if neccessary`
That reads to me that it enables or disables the wi-fi
