Test Wireless Connectivity
Using a computer or another wireless device, verify that you can establish a
wireless connection to the access point. By default, the wireless radio of the
access point is on and the default wireless mode is ng (that is, 802.11ng).
Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access point in
your network. You can reconfigure the computer that you used to configure the
access point back to its original TCP/IP settings.
Deploy the Access Point
1.
Disconnect the access point and position it where you plan to deploy it.
The best location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all wireless devices.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet LAN port on your access point
to a LAN port on your router, switch, or hub.
3.
Connect the power adapter to the access point and plug the power adapter
into a power outlet.
The Power and LAN LEDs should light.
Tip:
The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you have
a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power
adapter to power the access point. This can be especially
convenient when the access point is installed in a high location far
from a power outlet.
4.
Using a computer or another wireless device, verify the following:
•
You can establish a wireless connection to the access point.
•
You can connect to the Internet through a browser.
•
You can access files and printers on your network.
