Your access point can be up and running in just a few minutes. It can function
as a standalone access point (AP mode) or as part of an AP array (Managed AP
mode or AP Controller mode). This quick installation guide will help to set up
your access point and configure its basic settings.

ready when the LED is blue.
4. Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.2.x where x is a number in the
range 3 – 100. If you are unsure how to do this, please refer to the user
manual for more information.
Please ensure there are no other active network connections on

The instructions below will help you to configure the following basic settings
of the access point:
- LAN IP Address

- Administrator Name & Password
- Time & Date
It is recommended you configure these settings before using the
access point.

“LAN-side IP Address” and you will see the screen below.
2. Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your access point. You
can use a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network
environment. Click “Apply” to save the changes and wait a few moments
for the access point to reload.

When you change your access point’s IP address, you need to use
the new IP address to access the browser based configuration
interface instead of the default IP 192.168.2.2.

to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Basic”. Enter the new SSID for
your 2.4GHz wireless network in the “SSID1” field and click “Apply”.
To utilize multiple 2.4GHz SSIDs, open the drop down menu
labelled “Enable SSID number” and select how many SSIDs you
require. Then enter a new SSID in the corresponding numbered

network(s), go to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Security”. Select
an “Authentication Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption

If using multiple SSIDs, specify which SSID to configure using the
“SSID” drop down menu.
