TROUBLESHOOTING The KING WiFiMax doesn’t power on (no blue lights on front). Make sure power supply plug is securely inserted into back of KING WiFiMax. Make sure the power supply is plugged into a known good power outlet. I can’t find the network KING_XXXXXX_5G or KING_XXXXXX. Make sure your KING WiFiMax is plugged in. It may take up to a minute for these networks to appear. Some older devices may be unable to see the 5GHz network. This is completely okay; just use the KING_XXXXXX network.
