Access Point Quick Setup
a. To change the SSID of your access point’s 2.4GHz wireless network, go to “2.4GHz Basic Settings”. Enter the new SSID for your 2.4GHz wireless network in the “SSID1” field”. The default 2.4GHz SSID is
“ Hawking_HOW12ACM_2.4GHz
” c. To change the access point’s LAN IP address, go to “LAN-side IP
Address”.
Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your access point.
You can use a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network environment. Click “Next” to save the changes and to go to the security settings.
b. Go to “5GHz Basic Settings” and repeat the previous step for the access point’s 5GHz AC wireless network. The default 5GHz SSID is
“ Hawking_HOW12ACM_5GHz ” d. To configure the security of your access point’s wireless network, go to
“2.4GHz Wireless Security
Settings/5GHz Wireless Security
Settings”. Select an “Authentication
Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption Key”, depending on your choice, then click “Apply”.
Hawking recommends at least
WPA/WPA2 security.
Click “Apply” and the device will now reset and save your settings. The basic settings for access point are now configured!

Repeater Quick Setup
a. To scan for your Wi-Fi signal, click
“Scan”. If you only wish to scan only in 2.4G or 5G, choose accordingly.
Clicking scan will scan for all available Wi-Fi networks in the area b. After it has finished scanning, a list of networks will appear. Please select the
Wi-Fi source you wish to connect to. In repeater mode, you can select either a
2.4GHz OR 5GHz Wi-Fi source. It can only repeat from one source. However, it will broadcast this source in both the
2.4GHz and 5GHz range.
c. After you select your network, it will ask you to create a profile. You can change the extended SSID if you wish. By default it will use the same
SSID as your wireless source. The security settings will also be listed and it will automatically choose the security settings of the wireless source. Type in your password in the
“Key Field”. If you do not know this password, please contact your network administrator or check the wireless source’s settings. If you wish to make changes to your IP, go to next step before you click
“Connect” d. Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your access point. You can use a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network environment. Go back to the previous step and click “Connect”
Click “Connect” and the device will now reset and save your settings. The basic settings for repeater mode are now configured!
