Wi-Fi network switches itself on and/or off

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.

1 Checking the event log of the FRITZ!Box

The Wi-Fi network may be switched on or off accidentally because the WLAN button on the FRITZ!Box is pressed, for example by children or pets. Therefore, check the FRITZ!Box event log for events that occurred when the Wi-Fi network switched itself on or off:
