• Kein Strom: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the access point and a working power outlet, or that the PoE source is active and connected. Check the LED indicator for power status.
• Keine Netzwerkverbindung: Verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the access point and the network switch/router. Check the network status on your switch. Ensure the access point has obtained a valid IP address.
• Wi-Fi Not Broadcasting/Clients Cannot Connect: Confirm that the SSID is enabled and configured correctly. Check security settings (WPA2/WPA3). Ensure the access point is not in a disabled state or experiencing interference. Restart the access point and connected devices.
• Schlechte Leistung: Check for potential sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, microwaves). Ensure the access point is optimally placed. Verify that firmware is up to date.
• Gerät reagiert nicht: If the device is unresponsive, perform a factory reset as described in the Maintenance section.
