Understanding NAT mode on AP LAN ports
On the WAX300H and WAC500H, users can enable the “NAT mode on LAN ports” feature. Once this feature is active, the AP’s uplink and LAN ports are divided into two network segments, and AP itself becomes the Default gateway and DHCP server for devices connect to the LAN port. In addition to distributing IP address, it also…

How to address AP running in Limited mode due to insufficient PoE?
An AP enters Limited mode (1-2 antennas may disable) when it is powered on by a PoE source that is incompatible or insufficient for its needs. For instance, if an AP's specifications require 30 watts but it only receives 15 watts due to incompatible hardware, the AP compensates by operating in Limited mode. This results in…

How to fix continuous Blue blinking on Zyxel smart mesh repeater AP?
Continuous blue blinking on your Repeater AP signifies it's unable to receive a signal from the root AP. Try moving the Repeater AP closer to the Root AP. If proximity isn't an issue, check that both APs are registered under the same Nebula Organization and review the root AP's event log for more details.
