192.168.1.253
. And the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for

Connect the WBS-500N or WAP-500N with your PC via an Ethernet cable which is then plugged into a LAN port
of the PoE injector with one end and into a LAN port of the PC with the other end. Then power on the WBS-500N
