Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R7900P
Control the WiFi Radios
The router provides internal WiFi radios that broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default,
they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can still use
an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.
You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the WiFi On/Off button on the front panel, or you can log in to
the router and enable or disable the WiFi radios through the router web pages. If you are close to the router,
it might be easier to press the WiFi On/Off button. If you are away from the router or already logged in, it
might be easier to enable or disable the radios through the router web pages. You can also turn the WiFi
radios off and on based on a schedule. (See
Use the WiFi On/Off Button
To turn the WiFi radios off and on with the WiFi On/Off button:
Press the WiFi On/Off button on the top panel of the router for two seconds.
If you turned off the WiFi radios, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs, the LED on the WiFi On/Off button,
and the LED on the WPS button turn off. If you turned on the WiFi radios, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs,
the LED on the WiFi On/Off button, and the LED on the WPS button light solid white.
