Before you proceed, please ensure you are using one of the access point models in the list and
the firmware version of your access points has been upgraded accordingly to the versions
indicated in the list below. Please reset all access points to the factory default configuration.
Also, make sure your network is using a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to the access
points. By default, TRENDnet access point models listed below will obtain an IP address
automatically through DHCP or otherwise default back to 192.168.10.100 / 255.255.255.0 if a
DHCP server is not available on your network. Each access point must be assigned a unique IP
address on the same network.
