Points to the Known AP List
The access point can detect neighbor access points (APs) and lets you classify them as known APs. After
you enable neighbor AP detection, the access point maintains a list of access points it detects in the area.
Initially all detected access points are displayed in the Unknown AP List. You can manually move access
points from the Unknown AP List to the Known AP List.
By default neighbor access point detection is disabled.
To enable neighbor access point detection and move detected access points to the Known
AP List:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > Security > Neighbor AP.
The page that displays lets you select the radio band (2.4GHz or 5GHz).
5. Click the > button to the left of the radio band.
The Neighbor AP page displays for the selected radio band.
6. Select the Enable Neighbor AP check box.
