Troubleshooting Tips
I entered http://setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the Web Menu.
a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Pro Access Point wirelessly and NOT using a network cable.
Ensure the power is plugged in and on. Try to access the setup menu again.
b. Enter the following web address into your web browser: http://setup.ampedwireless.com
c. Power off (unplug the power adapter) the Pro Access Point and power it back on. Try again.
d. Reset your Pro Access Point to default settings by holding the Reset Button (located on the back panel)
for five to ten (5-10) seconds only and try again.
The Pro Access Point is not functioning and the Power LED keeps blinking.
a. The network (Ethernet) cable you are using is not compatible with the Pro Access Point. Replace the
network cable between the PoE Adapter and your router/switch with a Non-PoE cable.
Tip: How to check whether your cable is a PoE cable or a Non-PoE cable:
Check the connector tip of the network cable to see if there are 4 wires or 8 wires.
Non-PoE cables have only 4 wires.
b. If you have a computer or network device attached to the LAN port of the Pro Access Point, check that the
cable is a Non-PoE cable. Some unsupported PoE devices may cause power conflicts with the Pro Access Point.
I do not have Internet access when connecting to the Pro Access Point.
a. Your router or original network may not have Internet access. First check to see if you are able to access
the Internet by connecting directly with your router. If you cannot, there is a problem with your router that
needs to be fixed first. If you are able to access the Internet, continue with the following troubleshooting
options below.
b. Check that the Pro Access Point is correctly connected to your router or network switch. The router should
be connected to the Network port on the PoE Adapter (not directly to the Pro Access Point). The PoE
adapter should be connected to the Pro Access Point’s PoE port. After the connection has been established,
allow up to 2 minutes for the Pro Access Point to configure itself to your router’s settings.
c. Your router may be using Static IP assignments. If so, you will need to configure a Static IP for the Pro
Access Point. Connect your PC to the Pro Access Point using an Ethernet cable. Disconnect your PC from
any wireless networks that it may be connected to. Access the web menu at setup.ampedwireless.com using
a web browser. Access the IP settings menu from the left hand navigation bar. Select ‘Disabled’ under the
DHCP dropdown menu and enter an IP address that matches your router’s IP settings.
