WLAN access point not detected by external PC,
mobile or tablet
With the first R&S TSMA6B devices shipped, the WLAN module is configured to use
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.
In environments with high traffic on the 2.4 GHz band, the R&S TSMA6B access point
sometimes switches into the 5 GHz band after power-up. The effect is that notebooks /
PCs / handheld devices with a 2.4 GHz limited WLAN module could no longer detect
the TSMA6 WLAN access point. To overcome this error, the driver settings of the
WLAN module of the TSMA6 need to be adapted.
1. Check the "Mode" LED.
● "Mode" LED is permanently green => continue with
● "Mode" LED is permanently blue => continue with
● Other color => check error states (see
Chapter 9.1, "LED indicated errors"
2. Check the WLAN switch on the rear panel of the device. It must be "On".
3. Verify the WLAN AP settings via the web GUI.
Navigate to "Configuration" > "Connectivity" > "WLAN AP".
The "Status" must be "On".
