If the wireless light is off that means you are not connected wireless to any wireless device or computer . Once connected wireless to anydevice then the wireless light will be on. Make sure the wireless is enabled on the modem .
1. use a hard wired computer - open internet explorer
2.the address box(url box) type 192.168.1.254 without any http:// or www
3.You will find a network at a glance page - click on home network icon on top
4.right side you will see the wireless status: enabled or disabled . here make sure is been enabled



****** Some time modem ask for enter system key or password . there will be a link says i forget the password - you will find a hint , try your password , if failed to get that also then click another link there "i still cant remember my password " . and you will get the box for enter system key , enter new password and confirm new password . now the system key in the 10 digit key on the white sticker below the bar code on the bottom of 2wire modem and new password is all yours.*******

EPrinter Not Detecting iPhone or iPad to "Airprint" or "Direct Print"

I run an ePrinter wirelessly (WiFi) off a ASUS EA-N66 wireless repeater. This tip pertains to a HP 6525 printer in case you find this attempting to correct the same problem.
When first connected everything connected except the "Airprint" features or 'Direct Print" off my iPhone and iPad. I found the default printer settings were set to "Simultaneous IPv4 & IPv6". The iPhone/iPads communicate at IPv4. Theoretically they should function in the "Simultaneous IPv4 & IPv6" setting but they did not. Changing to the "IPv4" only setting corrected the issue and the printer functions with everything I have including a WiFi PC laptop, a Wifi Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Power Problem with 2Wire 2701HG-B

Sounds like a startup self test. All wireless devices go through a power on self test. Does it connect? You can connect to it and go online? I rarely turn mine off, only in a electrical storm.

Internet connection stopped suddenly

Switch off power to the modem, router and computer. Now switch on the modem first and let all lights on it to be stable.. Then switch on the router and let all lights on the router become stable. Once the lights on router are all stable, switch on the computer and then try to accerss sites.

I have a 2wire router from AT&T, all lights are green, except the "wireless" light. It's not on, how do I become wireless?????

Hi dilex
The 2wire router wireless light comes only when a system is connected to it wireless.

Please post the system that you are using and also what exactly when you try to connect via wireless.

Thank you

if all the lights on the modem are Green then it means there's no prob with the hardware. just make sure that you're going to use the right WEP key or wireless password. the network name is 2wirexxx, the X is the the last 3 numbers of the SN which can be found on the bottom of your 2wire 2701HG-B.make sure that your wireless switch is also turned on of course. the wireless light on the modem will lit if it is connected
