To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if I cannot connect to NETGEAR prosafe WAC740 from a browser?
If you cannot connect to the access point from a browser, ensure your computer uses an IP address in the same range as the access point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.160 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Also, try quitting your browser, clearing the cache and cookies, and then relaunching it.
Why is the Power LED alternating green and amber on my NETGEAR prosafe WAC740 Wireless Access Point?
The Power LED alternates green and amber because the access point is receiving insufficient PoE power. Make sure that the PoE+ switch is not overloaded. If you connected the access point to a PoE (802.3af) switch, disconnect it and connect it to a PoE+ (802.3at) switch instead, as the access point requires a PoE+ (802.3at) switch.
What to do if no LEDs are lit on my NETGEAR prosafe WAC740?
If no LEDs are lit on the access point, it is likely not receiving power. Ensure the access point is securely connected to a PoE+ switch and that the PoE+ switch is connected to a power source.
Why are the LAN port LEDs off on my NETGEAR prosafe WAC740?
If the LAN port LEDs are off, there may be a hardware connection problem. Ensure that the cable connectors are securely plugged into both the access point and the switch. Also, verify that the switch is turned on.
