If the device that you are trying to connect is set up to use a static IP address, change
the settings of your device so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
and can receive an IP address through or from the AP.
Note: Connecting to the AP's network is not the same as connecting to the local browser
UI to view or manage the AP's settings. For information about logging in to the AP local
browser UI, see Log in to the AP after you complete the initial log-in process on page

Join a WiFi network on the AP

You can manually add a WiFi device such as a WiFi-enabled computer, tablet, or
smartphone to a WiFi network of the AP.
On the WiFi device that you want to connect to the AP, use the software application
that manages your WiFi connections.
Note: By default, the AP's Wireless 1 network is enabled but the Wireless 2 and Wireless
3 networks are disabled.
To connect a device to a WiFi network on the AP:
1. Make sure that the AP is receiving power (its Power LED is solid green) and is
connected to the Internet (the Internet LED is solid green), and that the 2.4 GHz and
5 GHz WLAN LEDs are solid green).
2. On the WiFi device, open the software application that manages your WiFi
connections.
This application scans for all WiFi networks in your area.
3. Look for one of the AP's WiFi networks and select it.
For the Wireless 1 network, if you set a new SSID during the initial log-in process,
use that SSID. If you did not set a new SSID, use the default SSID that is printed on
the AP label.
4. Enter the WiFi password for WiFi access.
For the Wireless 1 network, if you set a new WiFi password (network key) during the
initial log-in process, use that WiFi password. If you did not set a new WiFi password,
use the default WiFi password that is printed on the AP label.
5. Click the Connect button.
The device connects to the WiFi network of the AP.
