If the Ethernet service works but there is no WiFi on the Arris Touchstone TG2472, it is likely that WiFi is disabled. According to the manual, when WiFi is disabled, the 2.4G/5G WiFi LED will be off. To restore WiFi, ensure WiFi is enabled in the device settings or check for a physical WiFi on/off button if present.
