Setting Up Unique IP Addresses
In order to reach the configuration screens for a particular Network Extender, you must use an
Ethernet cable to connect your computer to that Network Extender and then use a browser to
navigate to http://192.168.100.254. This is the standard factory configuration for each
Network Extender.
Note: To be sure that you access the Web Manager on the correct device, please unplug all
other Network Extenders on the network. Attach each unit directly and configure each one
individually.
Advanced users may want to consider setting up a unique IP address for each extender on the
network. By doing so, you can connect your computer to any Network Extender in the
network and then configure any Network Extender by navigating to the unique IP address for
that device. The procedure to set up unique IP addresses for each Network Extender is outside
the scope of this guide.
