Chapter 8 Tutorials 8.6 Connecting the WAP3205 (in Universal Repeater Mode) to an AP or Wireless Router If you have an access point or wireless router with Internet access deployed in your network already, and you want to have wireless clients connect to the existing AP or wireless router through the WAP3205, set the WAP3205 to universal repeater mode and then associate the WAP3205 with the AP or wireless router. The WAP3205 must be within the transmission range of the AP or wireless router. 1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205 using an Ethernet cable. 2 The default IP address of the WAP3205 is "192.168.1.2". In this case, your computer must have an IP address in the range between "192.168.1.3" and "192.168.1.254". 3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type "cmd" in the dialog box. Enter "ipconfig" to show your computer's IP address. If your computer's IP address is not in the correct range then see Appendix C on page 141 for information on changing your computer's IP address. 4 After you've set your computer's IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type "http://192.168.1.2" as the web address in your web browser. 5 Enter "1234" (default) as the password and click Login. 6 Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click Ignore. 7 On the left of the screen, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode and select Universal Repeater Mode. Click Apply. The WAP3205 restarts. 70 WAP3205 User's Guide
