Any clues on what to look for, or did my WiFi adapter just take a dive.  Is there any "master reset" of this box?

 

John,

 

I wonder if you have to perform a new WPS pairing to your router once you switched it to access point mode?  It doesn't look like there is a reset for the LCS WiFi module.  You might try switching the LCS WiFi module to a different channel (see the instructions).  I'd also power your LCS/Legacy infrastructure and entire WiFi network down, wait a minute or two for the caches to clear and then bring the WiFi network back up and do a fresh WPS pairing.  If you get it paired again you might consider getting the IP address it currently has and configuring that IP address with a DHCP reservation in your router's settings.  I had problems with the Legacy Utility searching and finding my LCS WiFi although not so with the iCAB app.  It just seems like in this instance a more static configuration is helpful.  

 

Are you a member of a local club or have access to another router with WPS at a friend's house where you could try to WPS pair your module with a different router that is already paired with an LCS WiFi module to narrow the culprit down?
