Questions and answers
Hi, we recently installed one and had been working fine but yesterday it stopped working, you can connect to it but it doesn’t have any internet. Have checked the connections and power and all is fine
If the ANTIFERENCE Clear Flow is not providing internet despite being connected and powered, possible issues could include:
1. Incorrect Network Configuration – The device should not be connected to the network until programming is complete. Ensure setup is done using a laptop with a solid Ethernet connection.
2. IP Address Conflict – The default IP address is `172.16.0.1`. Check if the laptop is obtaining an IP address automatically from the device’s DHCP server.
3. Boot-Up Delay – The device may take a few minutes to boot. Ensure it has fully started before troubleshooting further.
4. Faulty Ethernet Connection – Verify the Ethernet cable is properly connected and functional.
5. Firmware or Software Issues – Restart the device and check for any required firmware updates.
6. Hardware Malfunction – If network configuration and connections are correct, the device may have a hardware issue requiring professional repair.
If the problem persists, resetting the device and reconfiguring it may help.
