Chapter 10 Network Configuration Example

This chapter provides step‐by‐step descriptions for using the EOA7530’s three operating modes. The Access Point Mode’s default configuration allows the EOA7530 to act as a central unit of a WLAN or as a root device of a wired environment. Repeater mode and Mesh network mode need must also be configured (refer to the manuals for those devices).

10.1 Access Point Mode + Client Bridge Mode

Access Point

Step1

Log in to the web‐based configuration interface using the default IP address

 

192.168.1.2.

 

 

Step2

Step3

Use AP Scan to scan channels in nearby area.

 

 

Step4

Select a channel with the least interference.

 

 

Step5

Specify the SSID for your broadcast SSID. Configure multiple SSIDs at the same time.

 

 

Step6

Verify the VLAN identifier to separate services among clients

 

 

Step7

Set up the authentication settings.

 

 

Step8

Click Apply to save all changes.

Note: Dual mode uses the same SSID on 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz WLAN. For more advanced settings, see the previous
