Before You Apply for RMA:

 

At Wireless Netware, we pride ourselves on the quality and reliability of our products. Whether it’s a router, switch, or any other device, we ensure that it functions seamlessly from the moment you plug it in. Before proceeding with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA), it’s essential to explore all avenues to resolve the issue, as most problems are often due to configuration issues rather than hardware defects. Here’s what you should check before considering an RMA:

 

1. Inspect the Packaging: Ensure the item's packaging is intact upon receipt. Damage could indicate mishandling during shipping, which might be the cause of your issue. Contact the shipping company first in such cases.

2. Power Supply and Connectivity: Verify that the power supply is functioning correctly. Pay special attention to PoE injectors and ensure cables are securely connected to avoid power loss.

3. Device Boot Process: If you suspect boot issues, try activating the backup bootloader by holding the reset button during power-up. Upgrading the firmware via the /system routerboard section might be necessary if problems persist.

4. Netinstall for Fresh Installation: Utilize Netinstall for a clean installation of RouterOS, especially if configuration errors or operating system damage is suspected.

 

 

5. Check Ports and Connections: Ensure you’re using the correct ports for connection and that they aren’t damaged. Connection issues can also arise from faulty wires or compatibility issues with cage-type ports like SFP and QSFP.

6. Software and Configuration Checks: Update to the latest RouterOS version, check LED settings, and reset the device to default configurations if necessary to rule out software or configuration issues.
