MR 44 goes into repeator mode

Dear All, 

 

 

          2 of our MR44 AP goes into repeator mode, having check in to meraki switch side and run a cable test button, the pair 4 show open, does it means it is related with bad cable issue ? having checked the Poe useage, it is still under usage, any idea ?

Yes @Keith_Li , that is indicating a L1 issue and should look to replace that cable, the AP is unable to make a sufficient wired connection to the LAN and is automatically leveraging repeater mode to keep itself online and keep serving clients.

noted, and i will try to ask our cable vendor to check the connection first, thanks for your reply

An easy first thing to try is to redo the two ends of the cable (assuming it's a custom length cable). If prebuilt, then just change the cable.
