4.4  Verify Device Functionality and Test Network Coverage

 
 

1. Check LEDs

 

  The  LED should be solid white. If it is flashing orange, the firmware is automatically upgrading and the  

 

 

             LED should turn green when the upgrade is completed (normally in under thirty minutes). 

 

  Note: Your MR53 must have an active route to the Internet to check and upgrade its firmware.  

 

2. Verify access point connectivity 

 

  Use any 802.11 client device to connect to the MR53 and verify proper connectivity using the client’s web browser. 

 

3. Check network coverage 

 

  Confirm that you have good signal strength throughout your coverage area. You can use the signal strength meter  

 

  on a laptop, smart phone, or other wireless device.
