TP-Link Access Point Setup
12. After the configuration is complete and Internet access is confirmed, connect the TP-Link WA701ND
to the eGauge using an Ethernet cable. From there, follow steps for checking eGauge connectivity.
Once the eGauge is connected to the proxy-server, the eGauge status LED should blink between dark
blue and off.

Troubleshooting
•
The TP-Link TP-WA701ND does not have any LEDs illuminated
→
Ensure the access point has power either directly to the barrel jack on the back, or via the POE
injector’s POE Ethernet port. The POE injector requires power via barrel jack.
→
Verify the
ON/OFF
button next to the access point’s Ethernet port is depressed in the
ON
posi-
tion.
•
I cannot access the device configuration page.
→
The TP-Link WA701ND has a default fallback IP address of
192.168.0.254
. To access the
device configuration pages, connect a computer directly via an Ethernet cable, configure the computer
to use an IPv4 address in the same range (for example,
192.168.0.100
), open a web browser, and
enter the fallback IP address of
192.168.0.254
in the address bar. If you changed the IP address
on the
Network Setting
page during configuration step
, use that IP address instead.

I cannot access the device at all (lost credentials, major configuration issue, etc)
→
The TP-Link TL-WA701ND has a recessed reset button located on the back of the device. This
button is closest to the antenna, and a pin or paperclip is needed to press it. Hold the button down for
8+ seconds. All of the LEDs should turn off and back on; after this the initial configuration steps can
be used to gain access. Note that this will reset all device settings to the factory default.
