Hi, So I have a AC 5300 and also a second one as a node, Yesterday we lost WiFi, I hooked up to router and saw that 2.4 5-1 and 5-2 the radios were off so I re-enabled them. The few Items I tried connected to Wifi. When I woke up the next day the items that I connected before bed were fine but nothing else could connect. I rebooted router and as of now things seem ok. I figured out that while cleaning my GF must have hit the button on the router which I had forgotten was there. Is there anything I should check? Or is that all that switch does?

If I wan to use the switch I hit it once and it shuts off? hit it again and it turns Wifi on? Did I just manually go in the router and do what pressing button does? It only turns off the Radio?

Thanks

The WiFi radios can be turned OFF/ON by using the external switch, or by the webUI setting for same per band.
