For this situation, there are mainly two cases
- 403 Forbidden
After the EAP has been adopted by the Omada controller, the only thing you can do is change the configurations and check the EAP’s status on the Omada controller. If you attempt to access the EAP’s management interface, you will be greeted with a 403 Forbidden error page.
- Username or password incorrect
After it is adopted by the Omada controller, the User Account of the EAP Device will be changed to the Device Account.
