TROUBLESHOOTING
None of the LED indicators turns ON
Verify the power supply (voltage, cabling).
The relevant LAN led indicator stays OFF
Check that the remote device is turned ON.
Try to connect to another device.
Use another Ethernet cable.
The Wi-Fi link does not come up
Make sure that the Wi-Fi interface is enabled (warning, it is disabled
by default factory settings)
Make sure that the Wireless parameters of the Client (case sensitive
SSID, 802.11 mode, radio channel and security) match those of the
AP.
Check the radio conditions: distance between devices, placement of
antennas, interferences and obstacles to radio waves propagation.
Try with all securities and encryption settings temporarily disabled.
Try using the product with factory settings as shown in the “Quickly
evaluate” section.
Try another radio channel.
