| - | [* orange] The TVS diode is located between the antenna and a large IC on the RJ45 port side of the board. |

| - | [* orange] The diode in question is a LittleFuse 24V uni-directional TVS diode, with J leads (SMBJ24A). Note the location of the white bar on the diode, towards the antenna. |
|---|
| - | [* black] Use a multimeter or ohmmeter to test that the diode has indeed shorted. It should read significantly higher resistance in one direction relative to the other. A shorted diode will read less than 1Ohm in both directions. |

| - | [* icon_note] If the diode is not shorted, then something else is wrong, and proceeding further may or may not help fix your access point. |
