8.6Connecting the WAP3205 v2 (in Universal Repeater 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 have wireless clients connect to the existing AP or wireless router through the WAP3205 v2, set the WAP3205 v2 to universal repeater mode and then associate the WAP3205 v2 with the AP or wireless router. The WAP3205 v2 must be within the transmission range of the AP or wireless router.
1Set your WAP3205 v2 to work as a universal repeater. See Section 2.1.1.1 on page 16.
2Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205 v2 using an Ethernet cable.
3The default IP address of the WAP3205 v2 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”.
4Click 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 139 for information on changing your computer’s IP address.
5After 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.
6Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click Login.
7Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click Ignore.
8Go to Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN > Universal Repeater to connect the WAP3205 v2 wirelessly to an AP. Select Enable. Enter the SSID of the existing AP or wireless router to which you want to connect (“SSIDofMyAP” in this example). Select the channel number and enter the wireless security settings which are the same as those on the existing AP or wireless router to access it
