Advanced Setting
The instructions below are for users who have a basic Network
knowledge. Users are not encouraged to configure the following
settings because this may cause irreversible damage.
Change AP or Client mode
This is to enable users to change WAP-5834 to AP or Client in a
real situation.
Note: • If you are connecting to the WAP-5834 directly from a PC, be
sure to set a static IP in the same range as the AP or Client unit
(e.g. 10.0.0.25) to access the Web Configuration page.
• If the WAP-5834 is connected to a Gateway or Router that has
a DHCP server, it will automatically get an IP address from that
device. Be sure to check your Gateway or Router to see what
IP address was given to the WAP-5834 units and use that to
log in to the Web Configuration page.
Step 1. Enter into WAP-5834 Web GUI through browsers
such as IE with default IP 10.0.0.2 for AP and
10.0.0.10 for Client.
Step 2. Type default username and password: root/12345
Step 3. Change the Operation Mode to Access Point or
Client in the “Operation Mode” drop-down menu
and press the “Apply” button.
