Configuring the RangeMax NEXT
Before installing the RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point, you should make sure that your
Ethernet network is up and working. You will be connecting the access point to the Ethernet
network so that computers with 802.11Next/b/g or 802.11b/g wireless adapters will be able to
communicate with computers on the Ethernet network. In order for this to work correctly, verify
that you have met all of the system requirements, shown on
“System Requirements” on page 1-2
.
To log into the RangeMax NEXT:
1.
Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network,
record its TCP/IP configuration settings.
2.
Turn on your computer and configure your computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210
and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
