IV. Appendix
IV-1. Configuring your IP address
For first time access to the URL http://edimax**.setup please ensure your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This means your computer can
obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. You can check if your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address by following IV-1-1. How to check
that your computer uses a dynamic IP address.
** are the last two characters of the EW-7288APC’s MAC address.
The MAC address is displayed on the label on the bottom of the
EW-7288APC.
Static IP users can also temporarily modify your computer’s IP address to be
in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.9.x (x = 3 – 254) as the
EW-7288APC in order to access http://edimax**.setup.
The EW-7288APC’s default IP address is 192.168.9.2.
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating
systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in
IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your computer.
Static IP users please make a note of your static IP before you
change it.
You can assign a new IP address to the device which is within the subnet of
your network during setup or using the browser based configuration interface
(refer to III-3-3. Basic Settings). Then you can access the URL
http://edimax**.setup in future without modifying your IP address.
Please remember to change your IP address back to its original
value after the device is properly configured.

IV-3. Troubleshooting
1. Is my EW-7288APC dual-band?
a. No, the EW-7288APC is a 5GHz network device and cannot provide, extend or
bridge 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
2. Does the EW-7288APC work with a 2.4GHz router?
a. Yes, the EW-7288APC can connect to your 2.4GHz router via Ethernet cable in
access point mode, and provide an additional 5GHz Wi-Fi network. In Wi-Fi
bridge mode, an existing 5GHz router is required.
3. In Wi-Fi Bridge mode, how do I connect to a network which has a
hidden SSID?
a. During iQ Setup, check the box labeled “Connect to hidden SSID” and you can
manually enter a SSID in the “SSID” field as shown below, along with the
relevant encryption information.
SSID
Enter the SSID (network name) of your existing,
hidden network.
Extender device SSID
Enter an SSID for the EW-7288APC or use a
default which consists of your existing router’s
SSID (above) +"_5EX".
Encryption
Select and enter the encryption information for
your existing, hidden network.
![](/img.php?id=2274377&img=bg56.png)
86
4. I can’t access the Internet.
a. Ensure that all cables are connected properly. Try a different Ethernet cable.
b. Check if you can access the browser based configuration interface. If not, please
ensure your Wi-Fi device is set to use a dynamic IP address. If you are unsure
how to do this, try using a computer and refer to the user manual for guidance.
c. Connect a computer directly to your modem and check if you can access the
Internet. If you can’t, please contact your Internet service provider for
assistance.
5. I can’t open the browser based configuration interface.
a. Please ensure your Wi-Fi device is set to use a dynamic IP address. If you are
unsure how to do this, try using a computer and refer to the user manual for
guidance.
6. How do I reset my device to factory default settings?
a. To reset the device back to its factory default settings, press and hold the
WPS/Reset button for over 10 seconds, until the LED displays on and red. Please
wait a few minutes for the product to restart. When the device restarts, all
settings will be reset. Default settings are displayed on the product label on the
bottom of the device, as shown below:
Wi-Fi SSID
This is the default Wi-Fi network name for the
device. Search for this name (SSID) and connect to
it in order to set up your EW-7288APC.
![](/img.php?id=2274377&img=bg57.png)
87
Wi-Fi Password
This is the default password required to connect
to the default SSID (above).
IP
The 192.168.9.2 is the default IP of EW-7288APC.
Enter this IP address in a web browser to run iQ
Setup (Wi-Fi Bridge mode). After setup, the
EW-7288APC will have a different IP address.
7. I forgot my password.
a. Reset the router to its factory default settings and use the default username
admin and default password 1234. Default settings are displayed on the product
label on the bottom of the device, as shown in 6.
8. My EW-7288APC has a weak wireless signal.
Weak signals are usually caused by interference from other devices or obstacles
blocking the EW-7288APC’s wireless signal:
a. Keep the device away from other radio devices such as microwaves or cordless
phones.
b. Do not put the device in the corner of a room or under/nearby metal.
c. Ensure there are as few obstacles as possible between the EW-7288APC and
your wireless network device.
In Wi-Fi bridge mode, the EW-7288APC’s weak wireless signal may be in turn
caused by a weak signal from your existing router. It’s important to choose a good
location for the EW-7288APC in relation to your existing wireless router. The best
location is roughly in the middle between your existing wireless router and the area
you would like to be covered by the EW-7288APC. If you are too far away from your
existing router, then it is difficult for the EW-7288APC to receive a wireless signal.
9. What is the function of the LAN port?
The LAN port has a slightly different function depending on the operating mode
of the device:
a. In access point mode, the LAN port is for a direct connection to your existing
router.
b. In Wi-Fi bridge mode, the LAN port is for a direct connection to a wired network
device, in order to provide Wi-Fi connectivity.

V. Glossary
Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non-access point IP device needs to
configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP
packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send
the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the
destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives
every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess
point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 74.125.128.104). A DNS
server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in
typing "Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet browser), the user is
sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the
computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP
has assigned to you.
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are
connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100
million bits per second (Mbps).
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that
identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example:
192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host
identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four
cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each
“aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers
separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b”
can either be 0 or 1.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive
leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as
![](/img.php?id=2274377&img=bg59.png)
89
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network
mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP
address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP
network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient
method for access points to route IP packets to their destination.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices
connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office).
Your home network is considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the
hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a
unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of
two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique
for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product’s
serial number.
Access point: A access point is an intelligent network device that forwards
packets between different networks based on network layer address
information such as IP addresses.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured
like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a
particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the
Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
User Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol.
TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable.
UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet
Protocol), a network layer protocol.
90
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The
Internet is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices
support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This
means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer
to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
