• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point and the
network device.
• Make sure that the connected network device is actually turned on.
• Make sure that you are using the correct Ethernet cable. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch
cable. If the network device incorporates Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a crossover
cable or a normal patch cable.
