7.6 Uplink check
7.6.1 Overview
In AP mode, the AP connects to its upstream network using the LAN port. If a critical node between
the LAN port and the upstream network fails, the AP as well as the wireless devices connected to
the AP cannot access the upstream network. If uplink detection is enabled, the AP regularly pings
specified hosts through the LAN port. If all the hosts are not reachable, the AP stops its wireless
service and wireless devices cannot find the SSIDs of the AP. The device can reconnect to the AP
only after the connection between the AP and the upstream networks is recovered.
If the uplink of the AP with uplink check enabled is faulty, wireless devices can connect to the
upstream network through another nearby AP that works properly.
See the following topology (The LAN port serves as the uplink port).
