An Edimax AP connects to an existing router via an Ethernet cable and provides 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz
wireless network access for your mobile devices.

A. Before configure your Edimax AP
1. Plug the included power adapter into the Edimax AP’s DC power port and the other end into a power
socket. (Please note that only use the included adapter to power up the device.)
2. Please refer to the instructions and illustration below to connect your Edimax AP and computer to
your router.
2-a. Using an Ethernet cable, connect a LAN port on your Edimax AP to one of the LAN ports on your
router.
2-b. Using another Ethernet cable, connect the LAN port on your computer to one of the LAN ports
on your router.
Note: Depending on the Edimax AP product you purchase as shown below, the LAN port is usually on the
back of the device.

B. Access the setting page of your router to know your Edimax AP’s IP
1. Take down the MAC address on the bottom side of your Edimax AP.
2. Open your web browser and access the setting page of your router to know the IP that is assigned to
your Edimax AP. (e.g., Edimax Router’s setting page, http://edimax.setup or http://192.168.2.1)
3. When your router prompts you for a username and a password, enter both of them that you set for it.
Then, click OK to access the setting page. (e.g., Edimax Router’s username: admin; password: 1234)

4. On the setting page of you router, check the IP assigned to your Edimax AP. Here we take an Edimax
Router as our example. Click Administration on the menu to the left of the page.
(e.g., Edimax Router’s setting page, http://edimax.setup )
5. Click Active DHCP Client. Find the MAC address on the page which you just took down from your
Edimax AP (please refer to the part B, point 1) and take down the IP address assigned to the MAC
address this time. Now you have your Edimax AP’s IP address.
(e.g., Edimax AP’s IP address: 192.168.2.100; MAC address: 80:1f:02:XX:XX:XX)
