8.7 Connecting the WAP3205 (in Client Mode) to
an AP or Wireless Router
If you have an access point or wireless router with Internet access deployed in
your network already, and you want to use the WAP3205 as a wireless client to
connect to the existing AP or wireless router, set the WAP3205 to client mode. The
WAP3205 then acts as a wireless client. Your device, such as a computer, can
connect to the WAP3205 through a wired connection to access the Internet.
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205 using an Ethernet cable.
2 The default IP address of the WAP3205 is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your
computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and
“192.168.1.254”.
3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box.
Enter “ipconfig” to show your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP
address is not in the correct range then see Appendix C on page 167 for
information on changing your computer’s IP address.
4 After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet
Explorer and type “http://192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.
5 Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click Login.
6 Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click
Ignore.
7 The Easy mode appears. Click Expert Mode in the navigation panel.
8 On the left of the screen, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode and select Client
Mode. Click Apply. The WAP3205 restarts.
9 Enter the password and click Login to access the web configurator again. Click
Expert Mode.
