The settings on your router’s network may have changed or you may have lost internet connection on your home router. Any changes to the DHCP settings of your home router may affect the Internet connection of the Access Point. Check the settings on your router and try again.
Reboot the Access Point by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in. Allow up to 2 minutes for the Access Point to reconfigure itself to your network. Check to see if your connection has been reestablished by viewing a website.
Double check that you are connected to the Access Point and not to your home router. Use an Ethernet cable and attach it between your computer and the Access Point. Disconnect your computer from all wireless networks and try to access the web menu again.
If you are advanced in networking troubleshooting, log onto your home router’s web interface. Look for the DHCP client list and try to find the IP address of your Access Point assigned by your home router. Once you have it, connect to the Access Point using an Ethernet cable. Open your web browser and enter the IP address into the address bar.
Reset the Access Point back to default settings and try the Basic Setup again. To reset the Access Point back to default settings, hold the Reset Button (on the back panel) down for five (5) to ten (10) seconds. After the Access Point has fully reset, use an Ethernet cable and connect to the Access Point.

You may be too far away from the wireless network. Wireless data transfer speeds degrade as distances increase between your computer and the Access Point.
You may be downloading from the Internet and not within your local network. Files transferred through the Internet are limited by your ISP speed and the data download speeds from the website that you are downloading from.
Your computer may be using an older Wi-Fi adapter with lower speed limits (802.11b/g/n). For maximum speeds, use 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapters.
You may have interference on the wireless channel that the Access Point is currently using. Try changing the channel of your wireless network.
Step back at least 10 feet from the Access Point and check your signal again. The Access Point emits high power, long range Wi-Fi signals that may confuse your wireless adapter signal reading at close range. The speed and signal are at 100%, however your readout may not be displaying the data correctly.
Check that your antennas are securely fastened to the antenna connectors.
The wireless channel that your network is running on may be congested. Change the wireless channel on your Access Point.
Check to see that your wireless output settings are at 100%. Go to the web menu, Wireless Settings and check the Advanced Settings. Make sure the output power is at 100%.
Check that your antennas are securely fastened to the antenna connectors.
Your Access Point may be installed in a poor location. Avoid setting up your Access Point in areas with high interference, such as near fridges, microwaves, metallic objects and low surfaces. Install the Access Point in a higher location if possible.
Adjust the Antennas of the Access Point in different angles.
Your wireless network adapter may be outdated and have older wireless technology not capable of achieving the wireless network speeds of the Access Point. To achieve maximum wireless speeds, it is required that you have a 802.11n (2.4GHz) or 802.11ac (5GHz) adapter.
Check that you are using the latest Wi-Fi security type: WPA or WPA2 WEP security may slow down your wireless speeds.
Check that the Access Point’s wireless data rate is set to AUTO or 11N (2.4GHz) and 11AC (5GHz) data rate speeds.
Wireless speeds degrade as you get further away from the Access Point.
Check that the wireless channel set on the Access Point is not crowded. Try changing the wireless channel to another channel and test the speed again.
The Access Point supports WPS connections, however, some companies may use proprietary code for their own push button configurations. Try connecting using the Windows wireless utility or Mac wireless utility instead.
Client Isolation and SSID isolation restricts network access for wireless devices only. If you have devices connected to the wired ports of the Access Point or Router they will not be isolated.
To isolate the entire network from connecting wireless devices, enable the Internet Only feature when configuring security settings for your Wi-Fi network.
Certain features such as Port Forwarding and DMZ are only available when the Access Point is in Router mode. Ensure that you are using the proper operational mode for the feature you wish to enable.
The “Local AP Wi-Fi” settings for the AP Controller may be disabled.
