Basic Functioning

After you turn on power to the wireless access point, the following sequence of events should
occur:
• The power LED should be lit.
• The status LED should be lit.
• The LAN LED should be lit.
• The Wi-Fi LED should be lit.
If any of these conditions do not occur, see to the appropriate following section.

No LEDs are Lit on the Wireless Access Point

It takes a few seconds for the power LED to light up. Wait a minute and check the power LED
status on the wireless access point. If the wireless access point has no power:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable between the wireless access point and the PoE switch
is properly connected at both ends.
• Make sure that the power cord of the PoE switch is plugged in to a working power outlet
or power strip.
• Make sure you that your PoE switch is functioning normally.

The LAN LED is Not Lit

There is a hardware connection problem. Check these items:
• Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the wireless access point and
the PoE switch.
• Make sure the connected device is turned on.
• Make sure that the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch
cable.

The Wi-Fi LED Does Not Light Up During Wireless Activity

The wireless access point or the external antenna is not working.
• If the Wi-Fi light remains off while the wireless access point is transmitting or receiving
data, disconnect the Ethernet cable from PoE switch and then plug it in again.
• Contact NETGEAR if the Wi-Fi light remains off while the wireless access point is
transmitting or receiving data.
