Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Quick tips for WiFi troubleshooting If one or more WiFi networks do not function normally, consider to repower the access point: 1. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the access point to the network switch. 2. If you use a power adapter, disconnect it from the access point. 3. Plug in the Ethernet cable from the access point to the network switch. Wait two minutes. 4. If you use a power adapter, connect it to the access point. Wait two minutes. If a WiFi client device cannot connect to the access point, check the following: • Make sure that a WLAN LED on the access point is not off. If a WLAN LED is off and you did not disable the LEDs (see Manage the LEDs on page 174), the associated WiFi radio is probably off too. For more information about the WiFi radios, see Turn a radio on or off on page 87. • Make sure that the WiFi settings in the WiFi client device and access point match exactly. The WiFi network name (SSID) and WiFi security settings of the access point and WiFi client device must match exactly. For information about accessing the access point for initial configuration over a WiFi connection, see Connect to the access point for initial configuration on page 22. • Make sure that the WiFi client device supports the authentication and encryption that you are using for the WiFi network. For more information, see Change the authentication and encryption for a WiFi network on page 71. Note: If the access point's WiFi authentication and encryption is set to WPA3 Personal and the WiFi client device does support WPA3, make sure that the WiFi adapter device driver is updated to the latest version on the WiFi client device. • Make sure that the WiFi client device is not too far from the access point or too close. To see if the signal strength improves, move the WiFi client device near the access point but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away. • Make sure that the WiFi signal is not blocked by objects between the access point and the WiFi client device. • Make sure that the access point's SSID broadcast is not disabled. If the access point's SSID broadcast is disabled, the WiFi network name is hidden and does not display in the WiFi client device's scanning list. To connect to a hidden network, the user must enter the network name and the WiFi password. For more Diagnostics and 240 Troubleshooting User Manual
