LED is off, the Wireless LAN has been disabled in the Access Point, or there
is a problem (refer to the User Guide).
LAN Status LED
green (100Mbps link) / yellow (10Mbps link)
If the LED is on, the link between the port and the next piece of network
equipment is OK. If the LED is flashing, the link is OK and data is being
transmitted or received. If the LED is off, nothing is connected, or the
connected device is switched off, or there is a problem with the connection
(refer to the User Guide). The port will automatically adjust to the correct
speed and duplex.

Using suitable RJ45 cable, you can connect your Access Point to a

MDI/MDIX feature, which means either straight-through or a crossover
cable can be used.

cannot access the web management interface (for example, due to a lost
password), then you may use this button. Refer to the User Guide for
