Tip: If you want to change the WiFi settings of the access point’s network, use a
wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take
effect.
If your WiFi device finds your network but the signal strength is weak, check these
conditions:
•
Is your access point too far from your WiFi device or too close? Place your WiFi device
near the access point but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away and see whether the signal
strength improves.
•
Are objects between the access point and your WiFi device blocking the WiFi signal?
For more information, see Position the access point on page 245.
Changes are not saved
If the access point does not save the changes that you make through the local browser
UI, do the following:
•
When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving
to another page or tab, or your changes are lost.
•
If the page in the local browser UI displays a Refresh button, click it. It is possible
that the changes occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.
Troubleshoot your network using the ping
utility of your computer or mobile device
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can
troubleshoot a network using the ping utility in your computer or mobile device
