Netgear WAC510 Access Point Firmware V9.1.0.13

Hi all

 

We have 7 WAC510 wireless APs at our site. Not managed by the cloud Insight system.

 

We monitor these using PRTG as well as monitoring many other devices.

 

Strangely every now and then all of this model of access point drop off the network at exactly the same time. We have other Netgear APs of various different models which do not display the same behaviour.

 

We then have to go round and physically drop the power on all of these.

 

They are still physically up as you can see all the light still blinking away but a physically drop of the power is the only way to bring these back onto the network.

 

We are using the standard power adapters that came with these units. 

 

They are connected into Netgear switches. No POE.

 

I have just put 2 up to the latest Firmware to see if that makes any difference V9.1.0.13 but feel this unlikely to solve things.

 

Anybody else had a similar issue?

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
