Wireless Access Point

Before You Begin

It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for configuring the DWL-1000AP+. The default IP address for the DWL-1000AP+ is

192.168.0.50

with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your computer a Static IP address within the same range as the DWL-1000AP+’s IP address for the purpose of configuring the DWL-1000AP+. See the Manual on the CD-ROM if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network adapter.
