What to do if the WAN or LAN LEDs are off on my NETGEAR WAC510?
If the WAN or LAN LEDs are off on your NETGEAR Wireless Access Point, it indicates a hardware connection problem. Ensure that the cable connectors are securely plugged into both the AP and the switch, and verify that the switch is turned on.
Why is the power LED alternating green and amber on my NETGEAR WAC510?
If the Power LED on your NETGEAR Wireless Access Point alternates between green and amber, it means the AP is receiving insufficient PoE power. To resolve this: * Make sure that the PoE switch is not overloaded. * Connect the AP to a power source, such as a 12V 2.5 A power adapter.
How to troubleshoot a NETGEAR Wireless Access Point when no LEDs are lit?
If no LEDs are lit on your NETGEAR Wireless Access Point, it means the AP is not receiving power. To fix this, make sure that the AP is securely connected to a PoE switch, and that the PoE switch is connected to a power source.
