Connect to the AP through an Ethernet cable
You can connect a computer or other LAN device such as a switch to the AP using an
Ethernet cable and join the AP’s local area network (LAN).
To connect a computer or LAN device to the AP with an Ethernet cable:
1. Make sure that the AP is receiving power and is connected to the Internet (both its
Power LED and Internet LED are solid green).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the computer or LAN device.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the AP.
You can use any of the LAN ports on the AP.
Note: You can also connect the computer to a switch or hub that is connected to
one of the LAN ports on the AP.
The AP LAN LED for the port to which you attached the device lights solid green.
Your computer or LAN device connects to the local area network (LAN).
Routing features enabled in router mode
The AP can function in router mode (its default operation mode) or in AP mode.
When the AP is in router mode, the following routing features are enabled in the local
browser UI:
•
Internet settings, including an IP address issued through dynamic DHCP (the default
setting), an IP address issued through PPPoE, or a manually specified static IP address.
•
WAN settings, including routing services such as NAT.
•
LAN settings, including a DHCP server.
Note: In AP mode, these features are not required because they can be provided by
the routing device to which the AP connects. Therefore, in AP mode, these features are
masked out in the local browser UI.
