Step 1:
Preparing a
client You can access your Wireless AP Router’s configuration page using any computer
on your wired or wireless LAN. Whichever you choose, you must first make sure
that the computer can communicate with your Wireless AP Router. To do this, you
need to configure the computer to obtain an IP address from your Wireless AP
Router and to ensure that a valid IP address has been assigned to your network
interface card (NIC).
The default settings of your Wireless AP Router are:
❑
IP address: 192.168.2.1
❑ Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
