Wac540

I run a small office (usually just myself) and the wifi is currently down. It went down overnight around midnight since that is when the alert notified me. It is connected through a switch and a router to display the signal. When I walked in this morning nothing worked. It displayed our network name but can't find an ip address. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

    Insight reported the location or the WAC540 down?

    Appears the WAC540 is running while there is a problem with the switch (is this a PoE device powring the WAC540?) and/or the router and/or the Internet connection. The (one or two) LAN LED on the WAC540 indicate a network link?

    Check all other devices, power, power LED, Ethernet link LEDs, ...
