Connect a wired or WiFi device to the access
point's network after installation
After you install the access point in your network (see Set up the access point and
complete the initial log-in process on page 17), you can connect devices to the access
point's LAN through Ethernet cables or to the access point's WiFi network over a WiFi
connection.
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 access point.
Note: Connecting to the access point's network is not the same as connecting to the
local browser UI to view or manage the access point's settings. For information about
logging in to the access point local browser UI, see Log in to the access point after initial
setup on page 30.

Connect to the access point through an Ethernet cable

You can connect a computer or other LAN device to the access point using an Ethernet
cable and join the access point's local area network (LAN).
To connect a computer or LAN device to the access point with an Ethernet cable:
1. Make sure that the access point is receiving power and is connected to the Internet
(both its Power LED and Internet LED are lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the computer or LAN device.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the access
point.
You can use any of the four LAN ports on the access point.
Note: You can also connect the computer to a switch or hub that is connected to
one of the LAN ports on the access point.
Your computer or LAN device connects to the local area network (LAN). A message
might display on your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is
connected.
