Join a WiFi network on the access point

You can manually add a WiFi device such as a WiFi-enabled computer, tablet, or
smartphone to a WiFi network of the access point.
On the WiFi device that you want to connect to the access point, use the software
application that manages your WiFi connections.
Note: By default, the access point's main (first) WiFi network is enabled but the second,
third, and fourth WiFi networks are disabled. These WiFi networks differ from the
management SSID, which you can use to log in over a WiFi connection to the local
browser UI of the access point.
To connect a device to a WiFi network on the access point:
1. Make sure that the access point is receiving power (its Power LED is lit) and is
connected to the Internet (its LAN LED is lit), and that the WiFi radios are on (its
WLAN LEDs are lit).
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 access point's WiFi networks and select it.
For the main WiFi network, you had to specify the SSID during the initial log-in
process. To connect to the main WiFi network, look for that SSID.
4. Enter the WiFi password for WiFi access.
