    Hmmm, cant see anything that is clear. under "wireless" I can choose from setup, configureation, security, management but none of those seem to have an option to turn on/enable or similar.

    Hmmmm

    From what I can tell from those screenshots, 'Enable AP' is the switch to turn wireless off/on.

    Try removing the tick, then Apply. Then replace the tick and Apply.

    Now restart the router (power off/wait 10 seconds/power on) and see if the WLAN light is on.


    I've been frantically searching the net for an electronic version of the manual, but it seems the router has been discontinued for some time and the relevant pages removed from Safecom's site.

    Excellent, nice one, thanks. That worked, however, I now have the problem that I had a while ago. It says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network".
