Possible Solution 6:
Reset the access point by using a thin object, such as a paper clip, to press the Reset button press the
Reset button until both the LAN and WLAN LEDs turn off briefly.
I changed the access point settings, and now my wireless device
does not establish a wireless connection.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that the client device is using the correct Pass phrase and encryption options. If you changed the
settings in the configuration of the Professional Access Point, you must also change the settings of every
wireless adapter that needs access to the wireless network. The settings of the wireless PC cards, PCI
adapters, or USB adapters must match the new settings of the Professional Access Point.
I am experiencing poor wireless link quality.
Possible Solution 1:
Reposition the access point or the wireless device so that environmental factors, such as lead-based paint
or concrete walls, do not interfere with your wireless signal.
Possible Solution 2:
Create a wireless connection on a different channel so that electronic devices, such as 2.4 GHz phones,
do not interfere with your wireless signal. For more information about changing channels, see “Channel
Management” on page 63.

Resetting the access point returns all settings to their factory defaults. You will have to re-enter your
configuration settings or restore your configuration backup after resetting the access point.
