802.11ac Wireless Access Point
Model WAC104
Initial Setup
IMPORTANT:
The access point provides WiFi and LAN connectivity but is a
bridge and not a router. Therefore, do not connect the access point directly to
an Internet modem (such as a DSL or cable modem). Connect the access point
to a router that is connected to an Internet modem.
The access point uses a DHCP client that is enabled by default. Almost any
router functions as a DHCP server, allowing the access point to obtain an IP
address from the router. If your network includes a separate DHCP server,
connect the access point to a switch or hub that is connected to the DHCP
server.
1.
Connect the Ethernet cable that came in the package to one of the
access point’s Ethernet ports.
You can use any of the four LAN ports on the access point.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to a LAN port on your router.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to a LAN port on the access
point.
