Power over Ethernet (PoE) port which is used to power your device. The left port
(labeled "ETH1") is a general Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface. Both are auto-sensing,
Gigabit Ethernet (802.3) ports used to connect your WAP devices to network devices,
such as computers, routers, or switches. We strongly recommend that you use a
Category 5e or better cable for Gigabit connectivity.

If you are using a Cisco RV Series router, the default range for the DHCP assigned
address is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.254. Any device connecting to the same
LAN will be assigned an IP address in this range.
If your network does not have an existing DHCP server, the WAP581 will start a
DHCP server for WLAN stations and stop the DHCP client when WAP581 is in factory
default. The DHCP server will assign the IP address from 192.168.1.20 to
192.168.1.100.
