•

Verify the LAN network configuration of the access points. Both APs must be configured

to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.

•

Both APs must use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security

settings if security is in use.

Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2.
