Hardware Installation for Connection to Your local network
1. Power off your network devices.
2. Locate an optimum location for the AP. The best place for the AP is usually at the center of your wireless network,
with line of sight to all of your wireless devices.
3. Adjust the antennas. Normally, the higher location of your AP will get better the performance.
4. Using a standard Ethernet network cable, connect the AP’s Internet port to your broadband modem.
5. Connect your network PCs or Ethernet devices to the AP’s LAN ports using standard Ethernet network cabling.
6. Connect the AC power adapter to the AP's Power port. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet. Only use
the power adapter supplied with the AP. Use of a different adapter may cause product damage.
7. The Hardware installation is completed, please refer to the following content for AP configuration.

4. How to Configuring the Dual Band AP
TURN ON POWER SUPPLY
Quick power cycle would cause system corruption. When power on, be careful not to shut down in about 5 seconds,
because data is writing to the flash.
START UP & LOGIN
In order to configure the Wireless 11ag AP, you must use web browser and manually input http://192.168.1.250 into the
Address box and press Enter. The Main Page will appear.
In order to configure the Wireless 11ag AP, you must input the password into the Password box and leave blank on the
User Name box. The default password is “admin”.
