OVERVIEW
Your device can function in four different modes.
AP Mode is a regular access point for use in your wireless network. This is the
default mode of the access point.
Repeater Mode is a wireless repeater (also called wireless range extender)
that takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point
and rebroadcasts it to create a second network.
Managed AP Mode acts as a “slave” AP within an AP array (controlled by the
AP Controller “master”).
Client Bridge Mode determines the device to be a client bridge. The client
bridge receives wireless signal and provides it to devices connected to the
bridge via Ethernet cable.

I-5 Reset
If you experience problems with your access point, you can reset the device
back to its factory settings. This resets all settings back to default.
1. Press and hold the reset button on the access point for at least 10
seconds then release the button.
You may need to use a pin or similar sharp object to push the reset
button.
2. Wait for the access point to restart. The access point is ready for setup
when the Power LED is turned on.

II Quick Setup & Mode Selection
The unit can function as a standalone access point (AP Mode), as a repeater
(Repeater Mode), as part of an AP array (Managed AP Mode), or as a client
bridge (Client Bridge Mode).
Follow the default mode steps below and select the desired operation mode.
II-1 Default Mode: Access Point Mode
1. Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.2.x where xis a number in
the range 3 –100. If you are unsure how to do this, please refer to V-1
Configuring your IP address for more information.
Please ensure there are no other active network connections on your
computer by disabling Wi-Fi and other Ethernet connections.
2. Wire an Ethernet cable to the LAN 1 (PoE-In) port of the access point
and the PoE switch to power up the access point.
3. Please wait a moment for the device to start up. The device is ready
when the Power LED is turned on.
4. Connect a computer to the switch using an Ethernet cable.

6. Edit the new extended SSID according to your preference and enter the
security details for the source SSID (e.g. Pre-shared Key). Click “Connect”
to proceed.
Wait for the configuration to take effect:
7. The device (now in Repeater Mode) will establish a connection to the
source SSID and repeat the extended SSID. The device will become a
DHCP client of the router/root AP. Switch your computer back to
dynamic IP address.
8. To access the web user interface, check your router/root AP’s settings
to determine the device’s new IP address. Enter the new IP address into
the browser for the web user interface.
If you wish to switch the operation mode, please reset the device to

source SSID (e.g. Pre-shared Key). Click “Connect” to proceed.
Wait for the configuration to take effect:
7. The device (now in Client Bridge Mode) will receive wireless signal and
provides it to devices connected to the bridge via Ethernet cable. The
device will become a DHCP client of the router/root AP. Switch your
computer back to dynamic IP address.
8. To access the web user interface, check your router/root AP’s settings
to determine the device’s new IP address. Enter the new IP address into
the browser for the web user interface.
If you wish to switch the operation mode, please reset the device to
factory default (via web user interface or hardware reset).

II-4 Managed AP Mode
Scenario: The Unit being managed by an AP Controller
The access point can be part of an AP Array by switching to “Managed AP
Mode”.
An AP Array is a group of access points centrally managed by an AP Controller,
where it can monitor, configure and manage all Managed APs.
An overview of the system is shown below:
By default, the access point will automatically switch mode if an AP
Controller is present in the network.

16
To manually change to “Managed AP Mode”:
Ensure you have the latest firmware from the Edimax website for your
Edimax Pro products.
1. Connect an AP Controller to the switch currently connected to the
access point and computer.
2. From the default mode above, select Managed AP Mode from the
operation mode drop down menu:
3. Press “Apply”and wait for the device to reboot into Managed AP
Mode:
Wait for a few minutes for the settings to sync.
