IMPORTANT!!!

Do NOT plug the AP into your network before setup!! Plug the access point DIRECTLY into your computer before hooking it up to the system.


You MUST use the included POE injector in the box. Do NOT use a POE switch, midspan etc. The POE injector that comes with the AP uses 12 volts and is specific to the AP. If you use anything other then the included power supply and injector you will brick the unit and it is not covered under warranty. 


Hook up your network cable to the LAN port.  do NOT plug anything into the WAN 



Give your computer a static ip address of 192.168.1.2 and a subnet of 255.255.255.0

Enter 192.168.1.1 in your browser.

Un: admin PW: admin

On the left side click Internet Settings

Click Lan - Enter in the IP address you want to assign to the AP. ie 192.168.1.250 etc  ( Make sure you didnt set your computer to the IP you are assigning ) 

IMPORTANT: Click DHCP Type and select Disable.

Click Apply.  

The Unit will reboot and then ask you to log back in again  this time using the new ip address. 

Click Wireless Settings Then Basic

This is where you will assign the SSID etc. The only thing we recommend you set up on this page is the SSID. Leave everything else alone. Click Apply 

The AP may request a reboot if it gives you the option skip it for now and continue on

Click Security ( under Wireless Settings ) 

Select the Security Mode you want. We recommend WPA2-PSK

Enter in the Pre-Share key which is the password and click Apply. 

Once you reboot the unit you are ready to go.
