If the NWA130BE access point is currently operating in 'Limited Power Mode,' which means it is not receiving sufficient power. This typically happens when:

  • The PoE switch or injector only supports 802.3af PoE, which provides less power than the required 802.3at PoE for full operation.
  • The power adapter being used is not compatible with the access point's power requirements.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Connect your NWA130BE access point to a PoE switch or injector that supports 802.3at PoE.
  2. If using a power adapter, verify that it is fully compatible with the access point's power needs.

Changing to a suitable power source will ensure your access point operates correctly and broadcasts Wi-Fi signals effectively. For more detailed information, you can refer to our AP status showing an orange icon with limited power mode.
