The access point has been configured and the eGauge may be connected via Ethernet for network

communication.



I cannot reach the eGauge on the proxy server or locally.

Verify the TP-Link access point is powered up and configured. Connect a laptop to the Ethernet

port on the TP-Link access point, disable WiFi, bluetooth and any other wireless network interfaces

and try reaching the internet.

I don't see my network listed in the quick setup network list, or the signal is weak or

inconsistent.

Ensure the two antennas are secured on the back of the unit and that the wireless network is

within range of the access point.

I do not have network access through the TP-Link access point, or the network information

has changed and I cannot access the configuration interface.

Perform a factory reset on the TP-Link access point by using a paperclip or pin and holding down

the recessed reset button on the back of the unit, release the button when all the LEDs turn off or

flash. Then, re-configure the unit using the steps in this article.
