Changes are not saved
If you are logged in to the access point’s local browser interface and the access point
does not save the changes that you make on a page, do the following:
•
When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving
to another page or tab or your changes are lost.
•
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. It is possible that the changes
occurred but that the old settings remain in the web browser’s cache.
You enter the wrong password and can no
longer log in to the access point
If you enter the wrong admin password three or more times, access to the access point’s
local browser interface is blocked for a period. For example, if you enter the wrong
password three times, access to the access point is blocked for five minutes.
The blockage period depends on the number of failed login attempts. During the
blockage period, any attempts to log in to the access point are ignored, even if you
enter the correct password. You must wait until the blockage is lifted, and then you get
a single opportunity
to enter the correct password. If you enter the wrong password
again, the blockage period is extended as described in the following table.

attempts, the counter for failed login attempts is reset after 30 minutes. For example,
