Assign an IP Address to the WatchGuard AP Device

There are two ways the WatchGuard AP device can get an IP address:

• Automatic IP Address Conguration by DHCP - When rst powered on, the WatchGuard AP

device automatically requests an IP address from a DHCP server on your network.

• Manual IP Address Conguration - If you do not use DHCP on your network, you must directly

connect to the WatchGuard AP device to assign a static IP address.

To set the IP address on your WatchGuard AP device:

• Connect an Ethernet cable from the AP device to your computer.

• Congure your computer to use these settings: IP Address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet mask:

255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.1.

• Open a web browser and type https://192.168.1.1.

• To log in to the WatchGuard AP web UI, type the default password: wgwap.
