Hi Team,

 

We had a power cut yesterday and since then (it appears) one of my Unifi Wifi access points stopped accepting clients. 

 

This evening I restarted the AP through the App and now it shows as offline in the Geekzone Community Controller.

 

I have physically disconnected the PoE cable and reconnected to physically reboot. The LED on the AP goes from solid white, to blinking white to a dull blue colour that briefly blinks every 3 seconds or so. It still shows offline.

 

It is pingable on the LAN but I cannot SSH or Telnet to it. It is also discoverable in the Wifiman app. 

 

Can anyone suggest next steps? Thanks

Just an update to close this out.

 

After spending some more time on this after work I connected my laptop directly to the PoE switch to test the connection. To my surprise there was no IP address being handed out despite a good uplink to the router. Did some more tests and had all sorts of strange behaviour. It would pass traffic with a static IP but only intermittently. 

 

I swapped out the PoE switch for another and everything came back to life. Phew!

 

It was a cheap TPLink 8 port PoE switch if anyone was wondering. Guess that's what I get for buying cheap.
