1. Connect the wireless access point to your network. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the port labeled “LAN” on the access point, then plug the other end of the cable into a free port on your router or switch.
2. Configure the access point. Use a computer that is already connected to your network, and type the IP address of the access point into your web browser. This will bring up a login window. Enter the default login credentials (usually “admin” for both the username and password) and configure the settings to your liking.
3. Test the connection. Connect a device to the wireless access point, either via a cable or wirelessly. Usually, the access point will broadcast its own name (SSID) so that you can select it from the device’s list of available connections. If the connection works, you’re all set!
