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.

blue and off.

3 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 9, 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.
