3.2 Web Configuration Open a web browser (Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari) and enter the IP Address http://192.168.1.1 Note: If you have changed the default LAN IP Address of the Access Point, ensure you enter the correct IP Address. The default username and password are admin. Once you have entered the correct username and password, click the Login button to open the web-base configuration page.
If successful, you will be logging in and see the ECB1750 User Menu.
Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 4 Building a Wireless Network The ECB1750 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ECB1750. 4.1 Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ECB1750 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the ECB1750.
4.2 Client Bridge Mode In Client Bridge Mode, the ECB1750 essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system wireless access to the network. This mode requires you to connect the Ethernet port on your PC to the ECB1750 LAN port. If you use the client bridge operating mode, use the ECB1750 AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range.
4.3 WDS AP / WDS Station Mode The ECB1750 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ECB1750 using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses. Note: WDS Station Mode does not support Access Point feature.
4.4 WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ECB1750 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ECB1750 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the ECB1750 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point.
