Greetings! I have an IAP 105 that I am placing in a separate building from the other IAP 105s I have. I have plugged it into the network in the first building, and all lights light up green. I then move the AP to the second building and plug it into the switch. The PWR and ENET lights light green,l but the 11A/N and 11B/G/N lights are solid amber. I tried this with two different APs. They light up fine in the first building, but go amber in the second. The only difference I can see is that there is an additional network switch (HP Procurve 1800) inbetween the APs. I don't understand why the switch would make any difference for the radios? I could understand if there was a problem with the ENET! I searched the forums, and the only things I saw talked about SSID configurations, but I'm not changing any settings, just the physical location. Can solid amber on the radio lights indicate something else?
Solved! Go to Solution.

The amber lights indicates that the radios are not set for N but this should be impacted by relocation if the configuration hasn't changed or connected to another switch.
Do you have another VC in that other location or segment?

They usually indicate that the AP is running in WLAN mode or non-802.11n mode. Do you still see the SSIDs broadcasted?

Also...check the SSID encryption settings on the WLAN. If you have 802.1x or PSK...is it set to WPA2-AES?
If not, you will get the amber LEDs

Wow, you guys are awesome! Thanks for the quick replies! As you say, just moving the AP shouldn't cause this problem. I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by VC? But, if you mean switches, there is just the one.

Seth, I do not see the SSID broadcast. Yes, it is set to WPA2-AES.

The VC is the virtual controller in an IAP cluster

Ah. Thank you. Forgive my noobiness! I have 5 other IAPs, but none on the other switch. I just plugged in another HP switch in my office (same model) and tried it again. All green lights. The only difference is location and length of Cat 5 run. But again, how can that be affecting the radios?!
I appreciate your help!

Is the new switch in the same layer 2 segment?
