1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the WAP5705.
The WAP5705 extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing
easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11a/n
wireless devices using the 5 GHz frequency bands. The WAP5705 can serve as either an access
point (AP) or a wireless client. At the time of writing, the WAP5705 can only wirelessly
communicate with other WAP5705s.
With data rates of up to 300 Mbps, you can enjoy a breathtaking high-speed connection at home or
in the office. It is an excellent solution for daily activities such as file transfers, music downloading,
video streaming and online gaming.
CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your WAP5705
1.2 Applications
The WAP5705 can be configured to use the following operating modes:
• AP. Use the switch on the side panel to set the WAP5705 to work in AP mode (AP). You can
connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access and/or connect network devices via
the Ethernet ports of the WAP5705 in AP mode so that they can communicate with each other
and access the Internet. Wireless clients can connect to the WAP5705 in AP mode to access
network resources.
WAP5705 User’s Guide 11
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your WAP5705
AP
CL
CL
CL
• Client. Use the switch on the side panel to set the WAP5705 to work in client mode (CL). The
WAP5705 in client mode can access the Internet through a WAP5705 in AP mode and/or connect
to another WAP5705 in client mode using IEEE 802.11e Direct Link Setup (DLS).
Figure 1 WAP5705 Applications
1.3 Ways to Manage the WAP5705
Use any of the following methods to manage the WAP5705.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the WAP5705 using a
(supported) web browser.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web
Configurator to set up a wireless network with your WAP5705.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the WAP5705
Do the following things regularly to make the WAP5705 more secure and to manage the WAP5705
more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the WAP5705 to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP5705.
You could simply restore your last configuration.
12
WAP5705 User’s Guide
1.5 Resetting the WAP5705
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need
to use the RESET button at the back of the WAP5705 to reload the factory-default configuration
file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password
will be reset to “1234” and the IP address of the WAP5705 in AP mode will be reset to
“192.168.1.2” and the IP address of the WAP5705 in client mode will be reset to “192.168.1.10”.
1.5.1 Procedure to Use the Reset Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press the RESET button for longer than 1 second to restart/reboot the WAP5705.
3 Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the WAP5705 back to its factory-default
configurations.
1.6 The WPS Button
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your WAP5705
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the front panel of the WAP5705 to activate WPS in order to
quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WPS button for more than three seconds and release it. Press the WPS button on another
WPS-enabled device within range of the WAP5705.
Note: You must activate WPS in the WAP5705 that acts as the AP and in another
WAP5705 that acts as the client within two minutes of each other.

WAP5705 User’s Guide
2.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the different modes available on your WAP5705. First, the term “mode”
refers to two things in this User’s Guide.
• Web Configurator mode. This refers to the Web Configurator interface you want to use for
editing WAP5705 features.
• Device mode. This is the operating mode of your WAP5705, or simply how the WAP5705 is
being used in the network.
2.1.1 Web Configurator Modes
This refers to the configuration interface of the Web Configurator, which has two modes:
CHAPTER 2
WAP5705 Modes
• Easy. The Web Configurator shows this mode by default. Refer to Chapter 3 on page 21 for more
information on the screens in this mode. This interface may be sufficient for users who just want
to use the device.
• Expert. Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions of the WAP5705.
Click Expert Mode after logging into the Web Configurator. The User’s Guide Chapter 6 on page
47 through Chapter 11 on page 91 discusses the screens in this mode.
2.1.2 Device Operating Modes
This refers to the operating mode of the WAP5705, which can act as a:
• Access Point (AP). Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing network
devices to connect to the WAP5705 wirelessly. Go to Section 4.4 on page 31 to view the Status
screen in this mode.
• Client (CL). Use this mode if there is an existing WAP5705 that acts as an AP in your network.
Go to Section 5.5 on page 36 to view the Status screen in this mode. In Client mode, you should
know the SSID and wireless security details of the WAP5705 to which you want to connect.
Note: Choose your device mode carefully to avoid having to change it later.
2.1.2.1 Changing Operating Mode
Push the AP/CL switch on the WAP5705’s side panel to the AP position to have the WAP5705 act
as an access point. Otherwise, push the switch to the CL position to have the WAP5705 work as a
wireless client. The WAP5705 restarts automatically after you change operating modes.
WAP5705 User’s Guide 19
Chapter 2 WAP5705 Modes
Note: When you change the WAP5705 mode from AP mode to client mode, make sure
you use the RESET button to return the IP address of the WAP5705 in client mode
to 192.168.1.10. Otherwise, the client mode IP address will be the same as the
access point mode IP address.

Chapter 3 Easy Mode
When you log into the Web Configurator, the Network Map is shown as follows.
Figure 12 Network Map
The line connecting the WAP5705 to the gateway becomes green when the WAP5705 is able to ping
the gateway. It becomes red when the ping initiating from the WAP5705 does not get a response
from the gateway. The same rule applies to the line connecting the gateway to the Internet.
You can also view the devices (represented by icons indicating the kind of network device)
connected to the WAP5705, including those connecting wirelessly. Right-click on the WAP5705 icon
to refresh the network map. Right click on the other icons to view information about the device or
