11N 2T2R Wireless Access Point
3. Installation and Configuration
3.1 Installation
Please follow these instructions to connect the wireless access point to your computers and network devices:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the access point to an ADSL modem, router, or switch/hub in your network.
2. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, and then connect it to the access point's power socket.
3. Check all the LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be steadily on, and the LAN LEDs should be on if the access point
is correctly connected to the ADSL modem, router, or switch/hub. If PWR LED is not on, or if any LED you expected to be on is
not on, recheck the cabling, or go to Appendix A, Troubleshooting, for possible causes and solutions.
3.2 Using a Web Browser to Configure the Wireless Access Point
After connecting the access point to the network, you will set up the access point's network parameters so that it can work prop-
erly in your network environment.
Before you can connect to the access point and start configuration procedures, your computer must be able to get an IP address
automatically (use dynamic IP address). If it's set to use a static IP address, or you're unsure, follow the instructions below to con-
figure your computer to use a dynamic IP address:
If your computer's operating system is:
• Windows 95/98/Me, go to Section 3.2.1
• Windows 2000, go to Section 3.2.2
• Windows XP, go to Section 3.2.3
• Windows Vista, go to Section 3.2.4
3.2.1 Windows 95/98/Me IP Address Setup
1. Click on the Start button (located at lower-left corner of your computer), then click on control panel. Double-click the Network
icon, and the Network window will appear. Select TCP/IP, then click on Properties. See Figure 3-1.
