If you are using WHM/Cpanel to manage your hosting server then chances are you’ve experienced being lockout by the server already due to Cpanel’s CpHulk brute force protection feature. CpHulk helps deter any attempt to gain access to the server through brute force or password guessing thus if you happen to forget your password and keep logging into the server without success for five consecutive times you will definitely be blocked by the server.

By default, below is CpHulk’s tolerance to failed login attempts:

Even if you’re able to supply the correct login credentials to your server, once you’re blocked from the system, you still wont be able to login to the following services:

• Login to the server through SSH
• Check your email through webmail
• Login to your WHM/Cpanel

What you can do when it happen for you to be able to gain access to the server again are the following:

• Connect to a VPN so you will access the server from an unblocked IP address
• If your Internet service provider is using Dynamic IP assignment then a restart of your modem should get you a new IP address
• Connect to your friend/neighbor’s network — don’t forget to ask permission first.
• Tether your phone
• Contact your server’s technical support to flush your CpHulk’s DB

How do I avoid interference?
Using multiple access points on the same channel and in close proximity to one another will generate interference. When employing multiple access points, make sure to operate each one on a different channel (frequency).

How do I reset the access point?
Press the Reset button on the back of the access point for about ten seconds. This will reset the unit to its default settings.

How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every obstacle placed between an access point and wireless computer will create signal loss. Leaded glass, metal, concrete floors, water, and walls will inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with your access point and your wireless computer in the same room and move it away in small increments to determine the maximum range in your environment. You may also try using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one channel. Also, open the access point’s web-based utility, click Wireless > Advanced, and make sure the output power is set to 100%.
