There can be several reasons why your Access Point (AP) is not broadcasting the SSID. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Power & Connectivity:
    • Check the power LED: Ensure the access point is receiving power by verifying the power LED is lit.
    • Verify the Ethernet connection: Confirm the AP is properly connected to your network with an Ethernet cable.
  2. Check Nebula Connectivity:
    • Log into your Nebula Control Center and verify that the AP is online.
    • If the AP was removed, add it back to the site and bring it online.
  3. Factory Reset:
    • If the previous steps don't resolve the issue, consider resetting the AP to its factory defaults and reconfiguring it.
  4. Power Issues:
    • Ensure the AP is connected to a reliable power source and that the adapter's wattage meets the device's requirements.
