3.

Test wireless connectivity.

Using a PC with a wireless adapter, verify that you can establish a wireless
connection to the access point.
Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access point
in your network. If needed, you can reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back
to its original TCP/IP settings.

Deploy the Access Point

1.

Disconnect the access point and position it where you will deploy it. The best

location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of your

wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all mobile devices.

2.

Connect an Ethernet cable from your access point to a LAN port on your

router, switch, or hub.

3.

Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power

adapter into a power outlet. The Power and LAN LEDs should go on.

Tip:

The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you have

a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power adapter
to power the access point. This can be especially convenient when the
access point is installed in a high location far from a power outlet.
