How do I access the access point’s web-based setup page?
A wired PC is a computer that you will directly connect to the access point via an Ethernet cable. The wired computer needs to have an Ethernet adapter to establish the connection to your access point.
If you’re accessing the web-based setup page of the access point, you need to do the following:
-
Connecting the PC to LAN Port of the Access Point
-
Assigning a Static IP address on your Wired Computer
-
Accessing the Access Point’s Web-based Setup page
Connecting the PC to the LAN Port of the Access Point
Follow the steps below to connect the PC to the LAN port of the Linksys access point.
Take an Ethernet cable and connect it to the computer. Take the other end of that same cable and connect it to LAN or Ethernet Port at the back of the access point.
After connecting the PC to the LAN port of the access point, assign a static IP address. For instructions, proceed below.
