### Remotely rebooting an AP (access point)

If an AP is offline, a remote reboot of the unit may be used to reset the unit's connection to the store's network:

**✏️** **Note -**  **The remote reboot will not work if the AP has:**

* Lost power

* Become unplugged from the store's network

* The store's internet is down

1. On the Infrastructure tab of Vusion Manager, select the **`Reboot AP`** button on the row of the offline AP.
