Using AP/Router Mode

Using AP/Router Mode

1. Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port to the desired LAN or WAN.

Note: To avoid potential problems, do not change the LAN/WAN connection from the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router to the computer, or vice versa. Doing so may cause the connection to fail.

2.Use the mode selector switch on the side on the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router to select AP/Router mode.

3.Wait for the restart to complete and for the Ethernet LED to turn on.

4.On the computer, select the wireless LAN matching the SSID of the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router in AP/Router mode. The default SSID for AP/Router mode is default_Router

5.If necessary, configure the computer's wireless interface to match the settings of the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router's AP/Router mode.

6.Check the status of the computer's wireless interface to determine if the computer in use has obtained an IP address. If it has, then the wireless connection to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is working correctly.

7.Access the LAN or WAN. If access fails, connect to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router (while still in AP/Router mode) to check its status and configuration.

Connecting in AP/Router Mode

1.Start the Web browser

2.In the Location or Address bar, enter HTTP:// and the current IP address for the Wireless LAN, as set on the AP/Router screen. The default value is 192.168.1.1, for example:

HTTP://192.168.1.1

3.If the password has been set (by default, it is blank), a prompt appears for the username and password. Enter admin for the user name, and enter the current password. The Mode Configuration screen appears. Click the Configure button for AP/Router Mode. The following screen appears.
