Hello,

I use my Metal 5SHPn as a portable access point, the most recent time I plugged it in I could not connect to wifi with any device, laptop, phone or tablet. To troubleshoot I began by plugging it in to the ethernet port on my laptop. When I went to my networking options ethernet connection would flash between being connected and not connected, but never long enough to obtain an IP or log in to webfig. I reset the AP but no luck, the wifi is not transmitting, ethernet wont allow connection.

Not sure what version I am running, I think 5.21, I can't connect to the device at all to provide config settings or anything. Any help is appreciated. Am I out of luck?

Thanks

Hé Mikrobean, try with another network cable it is the same.

Download "winbox" en click on the 3 dots, select Mac-address en try connect.

See by "wireless" if the wireless interface is up.

Thanks for the reply plisken,

I have tried multiple different network cables with no luck. I gave your suggestion a try but the device would not show up in winbox.

Set firewall on your pc off en try than

That's weird, give the network card from your laptop a fixed ip and try again.
what operating system you have on your laptop?

Again no luck. I am running windows 7.

I just noticed that when plugging in a working Metal RB it makes beeping noises when powering on. This one that is not working however does not beep when turning on.

This was it! Thank you, I didn't realize the AP could be turned on without booting.

Thanks for helping me get it working
