I am unable to turn WiFi on and off using WiFi button on the router.

Using firmware 43516

WiFi LEDs are off and ddwrt says radio off.

Under SES / AOSS / EZ-SETUP / WPS Button
I have both Turning off radio and Turn radio off at boot both enabled.

I don't think those buttons have *ever* worked.

Whatever you do, do NOT do a 30-30-30 on your router. Broadcom ARM routers do not need it, and you risk bricking it. If *anything*, use the Factory Defaults tab under Administration to reset nvram values, or via telnet/ssh 'nvram erase && reboot'.

The buttons work for me. You have to hold the button until the lights turn off. If you just press them they wont work

I just checked on my R6400 running 43600

I enabled Turning off radio and Turn off Radio at reboot under: Services/SES / AOSS / EZ-SETUP / WPS Button

After about 7 seconds pressing the wifi button the power light blinks red and I can toggle radio's on or off (well the two radio lights go on/off, I did not actually check if the wifi is on/off)

The build I am using is almost standard (well it does not have softehter but it has TCPDUMP Smile )
