Installing the Access Point
Troubleshooting Installation
2. Connect the power adapter to a power source.
3. Obtain an Ethernet cable that is long enough to connect the Access Point to your
network’s router, switch, or hub.
4. Connect one end to a LAN port on the AP, and then connect the other end to your
network’s router, switch, or hub.
5. Verify that the power LED on the Access Point is green.
Congratulations! You have completed setting up the Access Point on your network.

chapters.
Troubleshooting Installation
If the startup sequence does not work, verify that the network name (SSID) and security
settings (if you enabled them) on the AP match the settings on your wireless device.
■ Disconnect the AP from the power source, wait 5 seconds, reconnect it, and then
wait 60 seconds before attempting a reconnection.
■ Disconnect and reconnect the AP and the PC.
■ Replace the Ethernet cable with a new one if the relevant LAN port LED is not
illuminated. (LEDs in each port light up during a successful connection.)
If all else fails, you can reset the AP to its factory defaults (and start over).
1. Insert a straightened-out paper clip into the reset button hole.
2. Press and hold the Reset button for at least eight (8) seconds.
You can now reconnect your computer directly to the AP (as described in “
2. Connect
the Access Point to the Administrative Computer” on page 37), and then start over
with installation, using the default network settings.
