			If you're using a Windows PC, it can sometimes get confused when switching networks, causing MDNS server discovery to not work properly. Since Access Point mode requires you to switch from your existing network connection to the HUB5000's network, it can often trigger this issue. There are two options for working around it:
			* Try turning off auto-connect on your normal network, unplug any other ethernet connections, and reboot the PC. You should be able to see the Phidgets when connected only to the HUB5000's network after booting.
			* Use '''"addServer"''' instead of server discovery in your program, adding the HUB5000's Phidget server explicitly. You can find the hostname and port of the HUB5000 in the web configuration page.
