Hello @Leif and thank you for your interest in our Community.

Please note that this behavior is a symptom of when the [PM1115UW](https://www.startech.com/PM1115UW) fails to connect to the specified wireless network configurations: it will return to Ad-Hoc mode. This typically means that the wireless information entered are either invalid (wrong password or security encryption type), or are being rejected (device not authorized, wrong manual IP or MAC address being filtered).

I would recommend you to make sure that the Wireless information are correct (double-check by comparing the entered SSID, security type and password from a connected laptop or other), that the network isn’t filtering or rejecting unknown MAC addresses and that the IP configured in our device isn’t already attributed or taken by the network.

If this still doesn’t work, please try on a different network, making sure that you are over 2.4GHz (our device does not support 5GHz).

I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact us back should you require any further assistance.
