Wireless Radio turned off by itself

[dSam]

Hi all,

Woke up this morning to no connectivity from my phone or other wireless devices. Apparently, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios were disabled in Asuswrt-merlin, I didn't disable them and no one else at my household has access to the router.
Is this reason to be concerned? (i.e.: is my router showing signs it needs to be replaced OR is it possible someone else got access to my network)

Cheers,

What router model and firmware?

Totally forgot to include that information.

RT-AC68U running 384.19

This router has Wi-Fi on/off button. Are you sure no one pressed it by accident? Any cats, dogs, recent cleaning around?

Hi @Tech9 I guess I must secure physical access to my router a bit better as today I was able to test pressing the button and that way I was able to toggle Wi-Fi on and off -- never had noticed it even existed.
No one in my household has access to the admin interface of the router BUT they could have pressed the button -- I think that is what happened. Thank you.
