NetGear Router abruptly stopped broadcasting Wi-Fi? - 1

Okay,
So I was on my iPhone using Wi-Fi to search the web when suddenly, my Wi-Fi stopped working. I thought it might be my phone so I went on my laptop, but I wasn't getting any connection there either. It was working just minutes ago, but now it won't? I didn't mess with the settings or anything.

**My router is the NETGEAR N3000 Wireless Router, Model WNR2000 v2**

I unplugged my computer and router, then waited about at minute, then started everything up again, but that didn't fix anything.

The Router is turned on and working perfectly besides the Wi-Fi being down. Additionally, on the front it is displaying that everything is working except for the wireless.

Also, I misplaced the owner's manual so I don't have that, but I'm currently logged on to the "NETGEAR Router SmartWizard" which is an online router manager from Netgear, if that helps.

How do I fix this?

It is possible that the router wireless section has died. However it is also possible that you do not have is secure and someone got in to turn the "broadcast" off. Download the user guide for your exact model from the netgear website. Follow the instructions to get in and see if the "Broadcast SSID" is turned off.
If you can't get in with those instructions, press the reset button with a paper clip for 30 seconds and then follow the directions again. If that does not work, junk the thing and get another one.

  • Asus laptop stopped connecting to the wireless router? We know it is not the router because the HP Notebook works and our iPhones work. When Windows runs a detection for errors it reports none. We have unplugged everything a few times, have hit FN F2 nothing. The only message we get is to call a friend who might know how to fix it!
