Insight Managed WiFi 6E AXE7800 Tri-band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX638E
For information about using the local browser UI, see one of the following sections:
• Connect over WiFi to the local browser UI for initial configuration on page 27
• Connect over the LAN to the local browser UI for initial configuration on page 32
• Configure the access point offline using a directly connected computer on page 36
Note: If your network does not include a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a
DHCP server) and you do not perform the initial configuration of the access point as
described in one of these sections, you can connect only five clients to the access point
and the access point can provide an IP address to only five clients. To prevent this
situation, make sure that you perform the initial configuration of the access point.
