If you get the opportunity to replicate it, and can get on the device, call
apple tech support to walk through solving it. once you find the issue,
leave instruction cards with front desk to provide the user. or leave
instructions with the terms for them to use when calling apple support
themselves. same thing with the airports going into ap mode, once we
trained customers to ask apple how to get it out of access point mode, they
were able to get the problem solved via apple support. even though its an
oddly worded setting on the management app you have to uncheck
