•
A red X
indicates that a problem exists or the connection is down. For a WiFi
network, the network is disabled or down.
•
An amber exclamation mark
indicates that the AP cannot get an Internet connection
(for example, because a cable is disconnected), that a WiFi network is enabled but
open (that is, it is unprotected), or that another situation that requires your attention
occurred.
Note: By default, the AP’s WiFi network in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is open
and unsecured. We recommend that you set up WiFi security for both radio bands.
The following table describes the fields of the four panes on the Home page.

save the settings for certain features. (To keep things simple, restarting the
local browser UI is often referred to as restarting the AP, but it is not the same.)

IP Settings
The IP address settings that the AP uses. In almost all situations, these IP address settings are assigned by
your router or a DHCP server in your network.
For information about how to configure the Internet settings, see Connect and log in to the AP for initial
