Troubleshooting the Module (Basics)

Common issues arise because:
Module is not screwed down tightly.
•
Not enough PoE power (requires 802.3at) 18 W.
•
Not configured correctly.
•
Not understanding that the radios operate "together" so you need to configure the radio in slot 1 (5 GHz internal) first.
•
Not understanding SSIDs' for both 5 GHz need to be the same and all .11ac clients are sent to the .11ac module.
•
