Why Does My Access Point Enter Power Limited Mode?

If your access points are entering power limited mode, it is likely because the power supply does not meet the device's requirements.

For example, the NWA240BE requires a PoE switch that supports the 802.3bt standard for optimal operation.

If connected to a switch supporting only 802.3at, the access point operates in a limited power mode.

This leads to a reduced performance on the 5 GHz radio frequency (2T4R instead of 4T4R).

To resolve this issue:

1. Ensure that you connect the NWA240BE to a PoE switch that supports the 802.3bt standard.
2. Alternatively, use a power adapter with the following specifications: USB PD 15V/2A (Type-C).
