Hey everyone! We found a scanner that might help locate the Airport Express 2nd gen. It seems the device isn’t showing its SSID even though it’s configured. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Keep the Ethernet cord attached to the primary switch. Alternatively, you might use another wireless scanning app.

It might be higher than the ceiling. Do you have a ceiling with replaceable tiles? Check the areas where you think it could be.

We have large structures otherwise I wouldn’t have taken this route. The device isn’t showing the Wi-Fi network name, which is the problem I’m facing...

When dealing with large buildings, it makes sense for the network admin to note the AP locations on a building blueprint. If they didn’t, I noticed that. When devices stop working, some APs switch from broadcast mode to hidden mode. Certain applications might ignore these hidden signals while others display them. I’m struggling to understand because you’re essentially asking us to spot a single AP turned off. It’s not about broadcasting; you can’t rely on hidden mechanisms beyond the installation details. That’s my last suggestion. I think it’s PoE. Have you tried disconnecting it at the switch and then reconnecting it? It might get it back online long enough to determine its general position.
