2.
Launch an Internet browser.
3.
In the browser’s address box, enter
http://x.x.x.x
,
where
x.x.x.x
is the access point’s IP address. Once the
user interface is displayed, go to step 5.
Step 5: View and Alter the Settings
If the access point is already functioning as part of a network,
altering its settings causes some disruption to users
communicating with the access point. If you are only viewing
information, there is no disruption to the network.
If you are configuring an access point for the first time, it is
important to alter the settings listed in table 1 below. After
altering the settings, make sure that you save them.
