NETGEAR WAX610

The access point functions as a PoE PD and the
Power/Cloud LED remains solid amber
When you connect the access point to a power source, the Power/Cloud LED lights
solid amber initially, then blinks amber slowly, and finally turns solid green or solid blue,
indicating that the startup procedure is complete and the access point is ready.
If the access point functions as a PoE PD and the Power/Cloud LED remains solid amber
after five minutes, the access point might not be receiving power at the required 802.3at
(PoE+) level. For example, this situation might occur if the access point is connected to
a switch that provides only 802.3af (PoE) rather than 802.3at (PoE+).
Do the following:
1. Disconnect and reconnect the Ethernet cable at the LAN/PoE+ port on the access
point and at an 802.3at (PoE+) port on the PoE+ switch.
The access point restarts.
2.
If the Power/Cloud LED remains solid amber after five minutes, check to see why
the PoE+ switch cannot provide sufficient PoE power to the access point.
Most likely, the PoE power budget of the PoE+ switch is oversubscribed and you
might need to disconnect another PoE device from the PoE+ switch to make sufficient
PoE power available for the access point.
If the error persists, see Power/Cloud LED remains solid amber on page 213.
Power/Cloud LED does not light blue in the NETGEAR
Insight management mode
If the access point functions in the Web-browser management mode, the Power/Cloud
LED lights green. This is normal LED behavior.
However, if the access point functions in the NETGEAR Insight management mode and
the Power/Cloud LED does not light blue but remains green, the access point is not
connected to the Insight cloud-based management platform.
If the access point functions in the NETGEAR Insight management mode and the
Power/Cloud LED does not light blue, do the following:
1.
Verify that the management mode of the access point is NETGEAR Insight.
For more information, see Change the management mode to NETGEAR Insight or
Web-browser on page 141.
2. Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection between the access point and your
network is good.
