- Step 1
- Make sure the access point is powered on and connected with an ethernet cable to your network with internet access. By factory default, the IP address is assigned by a DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server in your network, the default IP address is ...
- Log in to the access point’s browser-based admin tool locally and click the Configure LAN Settings link. Change the IP address or VLAN so the access point can access the internet.
- If the indicator light is off, check that the AC power adapter, or PoE cable, is properly connected on both ends.

•
WPA2-Personal - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method.
•
WPA/WPA2-Personal - This method, sometimes called Mixed Mode, allows clients to
use either WPA-Personal (with TKIP) or WPA2-Personal (with AES).
•
WPA2-Enterprise - Requires a RADIUS Server on your LAN to provide the client
authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted
using the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
-
This access point must have a client login on the RADIUS Server.
-
Each user must authenticate on the RADIUS Server. This is usually done using
digital certificates.
-
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the RADIUS
authentication data when required.
-
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 AES standard. Keys are
automatically generated, so no key input is required.
•
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise – This method, sometimes called Mixed Mode, allows clients to
use either WPA-Enterprise (with TKIP) or WPA2-Enterprise (with AES).
•
RADIUS - RADIUS mode utilizes RADIUS server for authentication and dynamic WEP
key generation for data encryption.
