Troubleshooting with the LEDs

You can use the LEDs on the front panel of the access point for troubleshooting.

All LEDs Are Off

It takes a few seconds for the Power LED to light up. Wait a minute and check the Power LED again.

If the access point has no power.

•Make sure the power adapter is connected to the access point..

•Make sure the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is in a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. If it is plugged directly into the wall, verify that it is not a switched outlet.

•Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your access point.

WiFi LED Is Off

The wireless radio is turned off or the antenna is not working. There are two ways to turn off the wireless radio--the Wireless On/Off button on the side of the access point, and the Schedule Wireless Radio feature.

For information about the Schedule Wireless Radio feature, see Schedule the Wireless Radio on page 46.

Check the following:

1.Make sure that the wireless radio is turned on. If it is, and the WiFi LED stays off, disconnect the access point from its power source and then plug it in again.

2.Make sure the antenna is securely connected to the access point.

3.Contact NETGEAR technical support if the WiFi LED remains off.
