Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AP within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless AP is required for the first-time
configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WDAP-1750AC is 192.168.1.253. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
These values can be changed as you want. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the WDAP-1750AC with your PC by an Ethernet cable plugging in LAN port on one side and in LAN
port of PC on the other side. Please power on the WDAP-1750AC by PoE switch through the PoE port.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows 7. And the
procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer
to the Ethernet adapter manual if needed.
4.1.1 Configuring the IP Address Manually
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (if the default IP address of the
WDAP-1750AC is 192.168.1.253, and the DSL router is 192.168.1.254, the "xxx" can be configured to
any number from 1 to 252), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
1 Select Use the following IP address radio button, and then configure the IP address of the PC.
2 For example, as the default IP address of the WDAP-1750AC is 192.168.1.253 and the DSL router is
192.168.1.254, you may choose from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252.
