You need to reset the unit & remove the Firmware and reinstall due to a
Firmware corruption.
This is what you'll have to do....
Hardware reset: Push the reset button on the back for 15 seconds.
Software reset:
1. Type 192.168.0.231 in a Web browser.
2. Click on Backup Settings.
3. In the Revert to Factory Default Settings click Erase.
IMPORTANT! Do not try to go online, turn off the
access point, shutdown the computer or do anything else to the access point
until it finishes restarting! When the Test light (looks like a check mark)
stops blinking, wait a few more seconds before doing anything with the
access point.
