Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX5400 Access Point Model WAX628 if you enter the wrong password twice but enter the correct password at the third login attempt, the two failed login attempts are erased from memory after 30 minutes. • If the number of failed login attempts is larger than the number of allowed retry attempts, the counter for failed login attempts is reset after 24 hours. For example, if you enter the wrong password five times but enter the correct password at the sixth login attempt, the five failed login attempts are erased from memory after 24 hours. • The last access attempt determines whether the counter for failed login attempts is increased. • If you restart the access point, the counter for failed login attempts is reset.

The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a network using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.
