Does your WiFi device display as an attached device? (See 

on page 48.) If it does, it is connected to the network.

Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?

The access point provides internal WiFi radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. By

default, they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the access point. When the WiFi radios are off,

you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the access point.
You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the 

WiFi On/Off button on the access point, or you can log in

to the access point and enable or disable the WiFi radios through the access point web management

interface. If you are close to the access point, it might be easier to press the 

WiFi On/Off button. If you are

away from the access point or already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios through

the access point web management interface.You can also turn the WiFi radios off and on based on a

schedule. (See 

 on page 57.)
