II-2. Basic Settings
The instructions below will help you to configure the following basic settings
of the AP-300:
-LAN IP Address
-2.4GHz & 5GHz SSID & Security
-Administrator Name & Password
-Time & Date
It is recommended you configure these settings before using the
AP-300.
1. To change the AP-300’s LAN IP address, go to “Network Settings” >
“LAN-side IP Address”and you will see the screen below.
2. Enter the IP address settings you wish to use for your AP-300. You can use
a dynamic (DHCP) or static IP address, depending on your network
environment. Click “Apply” to save the changes and wait a few moments
for the AP-300 to reload.
When you change your AP-300’s IP address, you need to use the
new IP address to access the browser based configuration
interface instead of the default IP 192.168.2.2.
3. To change the SSID of your AP-300’s 2.4GHz wireless network(s), go to
“Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Basic”. Enter the new SSID for
your 2.4GHz wireless network in the “SSID1” field and click “Apply”.

10
To utilize multiple 2.4GHz SSIDs, open the drop down menu
labelled “Enable SSID number” and select how many SSIDs you
require. Then enter a new SSID in the corresponding numbered
fields below, before clicking “Apply”.
4. To configure the security of your AP-300’s 2.4GHz wireless network(s), go
to “Wireless Setting” > “2.4GHz 11bgn” > “Security”. Select an
“Authentication Method” and enter a “Pre-shared Key” or “Encryption Key”
depending on your choice, then click “Apply”.
If using multiple SSIDs, specify which SSID to configure using the
“SSID” drop down menu.
5. Go to “Wireless Setting” > “5GHz 11ac 11an” and repeat steps 3 & 4 for
