Before You Begin

It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for
configuring the DWL-800AP+. The default IP address for the DWL-800AP+ is

192.168.0.30 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your

computer a Static IP address within the same range as the DWL-800AP+’s IP address
for the purpose of configuring the DWL-800AP+. See the Manual on the CD-ROM if

you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network adapter.
