AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124 Access point mode: Internet LED is off If the access point/router is in its default access point mode and the Internet LEDs is off, check the following: • Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection is secure at the yellow WAN port (not a LAN port) of the access point/router and at an Ethernet port on the existing network router. In access point mode, do not connect the cable directly to an Internet modem. • Make sure that power is turned on to the connected network router and that the network router is connected to the Internet. • If the network router does not function as a DHCP server (this is very unusual), make sure that another DHCP server in the network is active. By default, the access point/router functions as a DHCP client and must receive an IP address from a network router or a DHCP server. When you connect the access point/router's WAN port to the network router, use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable. Router mode: Internet LED is off If the access point/router is in router mode and the Internet LEDs is off, check the following: • Make sure that you completed the initial log-in process in access point mode, that you changed the mode to router mode, and that you connected the access point/router to an Internet modem. For more information, see Use the access point/router in router mode on page 23. Only after you complete the initial log-in process in access point mode, can you change the mode to router mode. • If the WAN type of the Internet modem is PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP, make sure that you configured the Internet settings correctly. For more information, see Router mode: Specify a PPPoE Internet connection that uses a login on page 42 or Router mode: Specify a PPTP or L2TP Internet connection that uses a login on page 44. • Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection is secure at the yellow WAN port (not a LAN port) of the access point/router and at an Ethernet port on the Internet modem. • Make sure that power is turned on to the connected Internet modem. When you connect the access point/router's WAN port to an Internet modem, use the cable that was supplied with the modem. This cable can be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable. Diagnostics and 244 Troubleshooting User Manual
