Test Basic WiFi Connectivity

After you configure the access point, make sure that WiFi devices can connect to the access

point before you position and mount the access point at its permanent position.

 To test for WiFi connectivity:

1. Configure your WiFi devices so that they can connect to a WiFI network that you

configured on the access point.

2. Verify that your WiFi devices acquired a WiFi link to the access point.

3. Verify network connectivity by using a browser to connect to the Internet, or check for file

and printer access on your network.

Note: If you experience trouble connecting to the access point, see

Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.

We recommend that you complete the following tasks before you deploy the access point in

your network:

• Configure WiFi security and other WiFi features as described in Chapter 3, WiFi

Configuration and Security.

• Configure any additional features that you might need as described in Chapter 4,

Management and Monitoring, and Chapter 5, Advanced Configuration.

After you complete the configuration of the access point, you can reconfigure the computer

that you used for this process back to its original TCP/IP settings.

Output Power From the menu, select the transmission power of the access point: Full, Half,

Quarter, Eighth, Minimum. The default is Full.

Note: Increasing the power improves performance, but if two or more access

points are operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference can

occur.

Note: Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio

frequency (RF) output power in your country.
