Use Ethernet to increase reliability of Nokia WiFi connections
In their default configuration, Nokia WiFi devices connect to one another using Wi-Fi
connections. They use these connections to communicate and share information about both
the network and its connected clients. If you have the infrastructure support necessary to do
so, you may choose to connect your Nokia WiFi devices using Ethernet cables, which would
result in wired connections. These can offer faster speeds, lower latency, and no interference
—
all characteristics that are common to wireless connections.
IMPORTANT
The Ethernet cables must not pass through an Ethernet switch or other router
Factory reset a Nokia WiFi device
This procedure returns your Nokia WiFi device to its "out-of-box" state. You may elect to
factory reset devices on your own or as directed by a Nokia Care Agent. There are two
scenarios where factory resetting a Nokia WiFi device may be warranted:
1.
Incomplete device configuration during Nokia WiFi setup/onboarding.
2.
Re-deployment of your Nokia WiFi network to a new location.
IMPORTANT
The need to factory reset one Nokia WiFi device means that
ALL
your devices
must be factory reset, starting with the device acting as the gateway and
followed by any extender devices. Failure to do so will generate a wireless
network with incomplete or mismatched configuration data.
FACTORY RESET PROCEDURE
1.
Using a paper clip or SIM tray removal tool, on the back of each powered-on Beacon,
press the
Reset
button for ~10 seconds, or until the LED flashes red.
2.
The LED turns solid white, which indicates the Beacon has entered boot-up phase.
3.
The LED flashes yellow, which indicates the Beacon has been factory reset and is ready
for configuration.
4.
Once all Beacons are factory reset, refer to one of the "Setup your Nokia WiFi" sections
and setup your Nokia WiFi from scratch.
