Turning off Wifi on the Sky Max Hub

I believe you can turn off the wifi on the Sky Max Hub via the settings in the App - however Im wondering how you turn it back on, if Wifi is turned off?  As presumably it wont be able tp communicate with the app afterwards (or does the app talk to the router via the web not directly?).  I read somewhere that the Sky Max Hub doesnt have web access which would otherwise be the obvious answer?

 

This only shows app access:

@PocketDog You cannot turn it back on once you have disabled the Wi-Fi operation,.... To get it back then a Foctory reset is required off the sky Max Hub as the recommended way back!

Re: Turning off Wifi on the Sky Max Hub

The Max hub does have web access, which, if you have turned off the WiFi you can get to by plugging a laptop or PC into one of the LAN ports on the back.

 

The default ip address for the Sky Router is https://192.168.0.1, the password is as per the label on the bottom of the router. The username is 'admin'

 

You can go into the connections menu and then turn the WiFi back on.

 

If the password has been changed and you don't know it then a factory reset will reset the whole thing, including turning the WiFi back on, press and hold the WPS button for 30 seconds until the light starts to flash green and then wait for the router to restart.
