Did an oopsie, help needed asap

[LufeSS]

I accidentally turned “wireless” off when browsing through the router settings (when you type in the search bar 192.168.0.1) and I can’t even access the settings now due to the router not being able to connect to anything. I have no Ethernet in my house. Is this a fat F or an easily solvable problem?

You can either reset the router to factory settings, or connect to the router using an Ethernet cable.

All routers have a reset button somewhere, you need to unplug it from power, hold the reset button for 15-20 seconds, then try and power it up again.

If you use an Ethernet cable, you can connect a device to the router and access the settings on that device.

Do you know what brand and model the router is? If so, I/we/you can do a quick internet search to find where the reset button is, as well as if there is any way to fix the issue without a factory reset...

I held down the reset button for longer than before, it worked. Thanks to everyone!

Well yeah.  Unless you have a bunch of access restrictions for certain computers on your network and/or a bunch of port forwarding setup, factory reset is the easiest.

 

If you have a bunch of config you don't want to lose, yeah, Ethernet cable to it.

No problem! Happy to help! I feel kinda bad for you though, having to go through the setup process again, especially if you had anything complicated set up...
