For both of these options, your access points will be added to the map based on your network
location (similar to how the Datto Networking iOS and Android apps add access points). You can
reposition these access points on the map after adding them.
When adding by CSV, the CSV file must be in a specific format. You can download a
sample CSV

Step 4: Install the access points
Once your access points are added to Network Manager, it’s time to install them. If you're using an
enclosure, video installation guides are available

First, connect your Gateway unit to the Internet with an Ethernet cable. This can be plugged in
directly to your high-speed modem (if it has a single Ethernet port, power cycle it first), or it
can be fed from a router or switch. If it can get an Internet connection through the cable, it’ll
connect to Datto Network Manager. Once the Ethernet cable is plugged in, connect power.
The Ethernet cable (PoE device) must be connected only to PoE networks that is SELV circuit and
without routing to the outside plant.
Next, plug in additional access points as either gateways (connected to Ethernet) or repeaters,
connected only to power.
When mounting Datto access points directly onto a wall, use a minimum 30 mm screw
length.
To ensure strong, consistent signal coverage, follow these
guidelines:
