What is the IP rating of the device?
The device has an IP55 rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
Troubleshooting
Device will not power on.
Ensure the PoE injector is properly connected to both the router and a power outlet. Verify the LAN cable is securely plugged in. If using a DC adapter, confirm it is the correct adapter and is functioning.
No internet connection after setup.
Check that the SIM card is correctly inserted and active with a data plan. Verify the 5G signal strength using the Zyxel One app or LED indicators. Ensure the APN settings are correctly configured for your mobile carrier.
Slow internet speeds.
Reposition the router to improve 5G signal reception. Check for any obstructions or interference. Ensure no other devices on the network are consuming excessive bandwidth. Reboot the router and modem.
Wi-Fi issues (if used as a standalone access point).
Restart the router. Check the Wi-Fi settings in the Nebula interface or standalone web GUI. Ensure there are no overlapping Wi-Fi channels with nearby networks.
PoE not providing power.
Confirm that the PoE injector is rated correctly for the device and that the connected LAN cable is functional. Ensure the device itself is compatible with the PoE standard being used (IEEE 802.3af/at).
