Wireless Setup
Initial Configuration
There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface.
To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device.
The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge mode, also known as AP Client, you can access the
device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be accessed
by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you
need to make sure the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 192.168.2.X (for LAN), 172.1.1.X
(for WAN).
NOTE: By default the DHCP server is enabled. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment; otherwise it
will cause an abnormal situation.
We also provide an auto-discovery tool which is used for finding out the IP of the device. In case you have forgotten the IP of
the device or the IP of the device has been changed, you can use the tool to find out the IP of the device even if your PC is not
in the same subnet as the device.
