  First, verify that your computer and the LevelOne Wireless Access Point have IP addresses within the same networking segment. You can test the Wireless Access Point connectivity by opening the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and using the command 'ping 192.168.188.253'. If there are connectivity issues, reset the Wireless Access Point. Ensure that the IP address 192.168.188.253 is not being used by another device on the network. Check the computer and cable; it's recommended to use a 10/100M UTP unshielded cable. Also, clear any Arp bindings by using the command 'arp -d' in the command prompt. Finally, clear your web browser's temporary files and cache.

  Try scanning for available wireless networks again. Ensure that the wireless standard of your LevelOne Wireless Access Point is correct (2.4Ghz signal should connect to a 2.4Ghz network, and a 5.8Ghz signal should connect to a 5.8Ghz network). Verify that the security settings and passwords match between the Wireless Access Point and the AP. The signal strength of the AP might be too weak; it should be more than -75dBm.

  Check your computer's IP address and DNS settings. If your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically, ensure that your network card is configured to do so. If you are using a static IP address, contact your ISP to confirm you are using the correct IP address and DNS address.

  Try scanning several times. If you are using a 5Ghz network, ensure that a 5Ghz signal is available. Reset the LevelOne Wireless Access Point and try scanning again after it restarts.

  Make sure the PoE module connection is correct. The POE Port should connect to the LevelOne Wireless Access Point, and the LAN port should connect to your computer.
