Can Aironet 3500 reboot on loss of Infrastructure client

terryinns · ‎02-06-2024

I have three Aironets, two are on the LAN, one is a bridge and when it loses connection to the Infrastructure client it fails to reconnect and I have to reboot it manually (Its not in an easy to reach location, can it be set to reboot on loss of connection?

the device may have degraded over time
first suggestion is to replace the power source

If you connect the AP to a PoE switch port then you can simply shut then no shut the switch port to power cycle the AP remotely.

As @pieterh says this AP (and the software it runs) are well past End of Support so time to think about replacing them if they're starting to fail.

Not possible via any config.

If it is happening frequently you can see if there is a way to mechanically switch off/on power every 24hrs to reset it given interval
