The Wireless Network Access Point's Ports

The Access Point's ports, where a network cable is connected, are located on
the Access Point's rear panel.
Dipole Antenna
Connectors These two round connections are where the antennae are
connected to the Access Point.
LAN This LAN (Local Area Network) port connects to
Ethernet network devices, such as a hub, switch, or
router.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the power
adapter.
Reset Button There are two ways to Reset the Access Point's factory
defaults. Briefly press the Reset Button for approximately
ten seconds, or use the Password tab of the Access Point's
Web-Based Utility.
Important: Resetting the Access Point will erase all of your settings
(WEP Encryption, Wireless and LAN settings, etc.) and replace
them with the factory defaults.
