4.Configure and verify the following parameters for both access points:

•Verify that the LAN networks of the access points are both configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.

•Both use the same ESSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use.

5.Click Apply to save your settings.

6.Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2.

A computer on either LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers of any other PCs or servers connected to LAN segment 1 or LAN segment 2.
