Log In to the EAP
The following sections introduce how to log in to the EAP via a wireless connection and a
wired connection.
1.3.1 Log In via a Wireless Connection
To access the management web page via a wireless connection, you can use either the
domain name or the IP address of the EAP. We recommend you to log in using the domain
name for a wireless connection. In this method, you needn’t know the IP address of the
EAP, but you need to prepare a wireless client device, such as a wireless laptop. Follow the
steps below to log in to the EAP via domain name:
1. Set the wireless client device to get IP settings assigned automatically.
2. Search the default SSID (Network name) using your wireless client device and connect
to the wireless network of the EAP. The default SSID of the EAP is printed on the
product label at the bottom of the device. The dual-band EAP has two default SSIDs
named
TP-Link_2.4GHz_XXXXXX
and
TP-Link_5GHz_XXXXXX
on the 2.4GHz band
and 5GHz band, and the single-band EAP has a default SSID named
TP-Link_2.4GHz_
XXXXXX
on the 2.4GHz band.
