In the device local Web GUI main dashboard, the Cloud Control Status displays the status of device’s internet and Nebula status. When the AP is online on NCC, three circles are all Green.

          The three circle are Internet, Nebula, Registration, stands for:
          Internet - Internet connection status.

The table displays the description of each circle status.

If the device can’t connect to Internet or NCC, move the mouse over the circle to check the error message. According to the hint to check your local network settings.

Here are the failed message of Internet and Nebula circles that provides user to rule out the issue in the network settings.

 

Internet failed cases are:

-          Missing default gateway setting

-          Can't get an IP from your DHCP server!

-          Gateway unreachable

-          IP is conflict with (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF), please check!

-          NTP DNS query failed

-          NTP update failed

 

Nebula connection failed cases are:

-          Certificate problem

-          DNS queries failed

-          Proxy authentication failed

-          TCP port 4335 blocked

 

In most cases, it’s the TCP/UDP port being blocked by firewall or ISP. This table is intended to help guide you in creating firewall rules for Nebula, please check your firewall or ISP if they’re blocking them.

We suggest replacing the DNS setting with the static IP address "8.8.8.8" for resolving all domains for Nebula.

If the AP is still offline after above information confirmed or there is no condition as yours list above, please collect Diagnostics at MAINTENANCE page for Zyxel support.
