Second light is not lit, I believe this is the link light??
Antenna is good, antenna wire is good, has power, patch cord is good. Router is fine, plugged directly into laptop, same problem.

I get no internet and cannot log onto the Rogue. When I leave my boat I normally power everything down, last Sunday I forgot to do this. Maybe lightning ??

I know nothing about the Rogue, but have you tried unplugging power to reset it?
 
+1 But drop the power and wait a full minute or two before you repower it.

If that fails then if there is a reset button it's time to go there.
 
Your new one or the one you gave Dave?
Call Richard at Wave if it's new he will replace it Walter.

Billy,
What is even more weird is my first one had the same problem. This is why I think I remember the second lite being a "link lite". If you remember, I thought I screwed that unit up by plugging in a POE that was not the POE they provided. Seemed it was a firmware problem. I bought a new one and Dave has my old one.
 
I always leave mine on all summer, so I don't think that is the issue. It sits on my radar arch, powered up at all times except when the boat is shrink wrapped for winter.

Hope it works put for you.
 
Guess you want your old one back?
The second light on mine is never lit either.

Never lit?
 
I don't think so. One light is always out. And the top light flickers based on signal.

You would never connect if the LAN light was out Dave. As far as the top light that is a signal light. If it is even lite then you are receiving a strong AP, flickering is ok, your on the edge of the signal being above -72dbm (pretty strong).

Walter call Wave, hooking the unit up to the wrong POE doen't damage it, it just won't work at all.
If lightning you would have other electrical systems damaged. Not very likely.

I guess I do not understand why trying a reset is a bad idea.

It's a good idea but with the ROGUE power cycling is a reset (built into the code) you can also reboot it from the connection manager's 3rd tab. Click on system reboot.

Voltage spikes can do quite a bit to circuitry. Before I did anything else, I'd perform the complete reset to factory defaults, then input my local parameters again and see what happens.

Dan the ROGUE is unlike most ethernet radios it can not be set back to factory defaults. It can be reset but it loads it's own proprietary Linux code that is flashed in the firmware. Actually powering it on and off or doing the reboot assuming the firmware loads is all that can be done.

I was certain that was the case but is it possible to set up your own local IP address, admin password, encryption etc.?

It could be an error in storage associated with the local parameters established by the owner.

Dan, no, the local AP, encryption and password are through your seperate provided router. The ROGUE is simply a radio and ethernet converter with modified firmware. You can connect using a static IP if needed and disable the firewall but that's about all.
Now on the more expensive EC units yes you have administrative privilages.
Anyone want a highly discounted EC/ER/AP, I have a demo unit I'd like to sell.
Bill
 
So help me understand how this device gets the encryption for an AP it is attempting to link to? You have to enter it every time you power up the Rouge?
 
It save the encryption key but only to the AP.
Internal rebroadcast is done through your own supplied router/AP with security credentials either enabled or disabled.
