Wireless down after reboot

Post by gutopa »

Hi.

I have a new 7800DXL, been using for couple of weeks only. So far it's amazing.
Just had a little problem today, we had a power outage and when the router was back up, everything was working, but Wifi. No 2.4 neither 5ghz.

I can access the modem remotely, I can see the LAN working, DHCP and everything, but I can't see the wireless networks from the PCs.
Also when I run diagnostics it shows Wireless FailFail in red. I tried to reconfigure wireless, but it says that the SSID is invalid (If I use the same one).

Any idea why this could be happening?

Thank you.

It might be suffering from a failure from the power outage, most likely a power surge has blown something.

The best way to verify is to reboot the router, or reset back to factory default settings, (the later can only be performed locally, not remotely)

Thanks.

It does work after factory reset and reconfiguration.
Will this happen every time I reboot the router?

One other question.
I have SSH access open. I can access from anywhere with putty on port 22.

But I can't access from a linux machine.

ssh admin@172.16.254.1
Connection closed by 172.16.254.1

Do we have to use any special parameter to access from linux ?

I don't think the issue will occur if you reboot the device again, maybe the power surge/outage messed up the config

Try using the following command for SSH access
ssh -o MACs=hmac-sha1 admin@deviceip
