1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports in the back of the
FortiExtender to the Ethernet port of your computer.
2. Configure the computer to be on the same subnet as the FortiExtender by changing
its IP address to 192.168.1.1 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. Open your web browser and point to the default FortiExtender web GUI address:
http://192.168.1.2
4. In both the username and password fields, type
5. Go to Network Configuration.
