WAX214v2 power LED blinks in series of 3 blinks

I have a WAX 214v2 access point that is not connecting to the wired switch.

I can access the unit through WiFi but no internet access.

The unit is PoE and powers on properly.

However, after booting, the power light blinks 3 times, pause, 3 blinks, pause, and so on.

I can find NOTHING to tell me what 3 blinks means.

Anyone have any ideas??

    What are you using to power it? 

    Have you tried powering it with a standard power supply to see if its a POE issue?

      Yes, I tried that with no change.

      I can see both 2.4 and 5 GHZ SSID's and log into them, just no internet.

      The network LED shows connected but....

        -> register your WAX214v2 in case this wasn't done before, then

        -> select the device / serial number, and

        -> follow the [Request Hardware Repalcement] process.
