Installation and connection

We recommend that you temporarily connect the product and configure it first. Then
choose a suitable mounting position for the product and mount it there.
In the instructions below you will encounter the terms such as "AP" (which means
the product), "PC" (comprises computers, laptops, MAC, etc.) and "tablet" (stands
for tablets, smartphones, iPads and iPhones, regardless of the manufacturer/opera-
ting system).
a) Choosing the mounting position
Once configured, the product should now be placed in a suitable mounting position.
When configured in AP mode, the product can be placed almost anywhere as it is connected to
the router by cable. However, make sure you keep a certain distance between the product and
your Wi-Fi router to preclude overlapping Wi-Fi signals.
In the other modes, the position should be selected so that at least 2 bars of WLAN signal are
displayed on the product. Try out different locations and choose the one that ensures the best
connection to the Wi-Fi router.
b) Mounting the bracket
• Choose a suitable installation location. The bracket can
be mounted either on the wall or on a post.
• When mounting the product on a post, always use the in-
cluded cable ties to secure the bracket. The small round-
ing on the bracket must fit on the mast. The four slots are
intended for the cable ties as shown in the figure.
• When mounting the product on the wall, choose a stable
surface. Depending on the surface, suitable screws and
dowels must be used.
• If it is a wooden wall, you can drive screws in directly wi-
thout using dowels. It is recommended that you pre-drill
the holes anyway, if necessary.
• When mounting, align the bracket so that the small re-
cesses in the outer mounting holes face upwards. The bracket can also be suspended on
the screws.
When drilling mounting holes or fastening into place, ensure that no existing electri-
cal cables, gas or water pipes are damaged.
c) Connecting and mounting the device
• Before you fit the device onto the mounting bracket, make sure you have connected all the
cables, closed the housing and screwed the antennas.
1 Guide the cables through the large
screw cap.
2 Guide the cables through the rubber
seal (it can be opened to the side). If
only one cable is used, the second hole
must be closed with the rubber plug.
3 Guide the cables through the rubber
seal holder.
4 Connect the RJ45 cables to the RJ45
ports; The cable that leads to the
PoE adapter (min. CAT5e) must be
connected to the "LAN/Backhaul" (K)
connection. A device or similar can be
connected to the "LAN" (L) connection.
If you want to ground the device,
connect your grounding cable to the
"GND" (H) connection.
5 Attach the 2.4 GHz antennas to the
corresponding connectors (B). The
antenna with joint must be screwed on
at the side. If the small white rubber
seals are not yet attached to the
connections, slide a rubber seal over
each connection before screwing on the antennas.
6 The 5 GHz antennas (A) should be attached in the same way as the 2.4 GHz antennas.
7 Insert the rubber seal holder into the dedicated 3 holes.
8 Insert the rubber seal into the holder.
9 Screw the cover onto the housing.
• Once all the necessary connections are done, you can place the AP on the bracket and press
it in until it clicks into place.
• Connect the RJ45 cable that you have connected to the "LAN/Backhaul" (K) connection to
the "POE" connection of the PoE adapter.
• Connect the output plug of the power adapter to the "DC24V" socket of the PoE adapter. Plug
the power adapter into a mains socket.
• Use the push switch to turn on the product.
As a rule, only the network cable can be found in the place of installation of an ac-
cess point. The PoE adapter is usually connected near the router or network switch.

Preparing for configuration
a) General Information
• Wi-Fi name 2.4 GHz: "Wireless-N" (no password, unencrypted)
• Name of the WLAN 5 GHz: „Wireless-AC" (without password, unencrypted)
• IP address: 192.168.10.1
• Web interface: http://ap.setup/
b) Establishing connection to AP
• If you want to carry out the configuration with a cable, connect the „LAN" port of the AP
• If you want to carry out the configuration wirelessly via WLAN, connect your PC, tablet or
c) Registering with the web interface
• Once connected, open your web browser.
• Type "http://ap.setup/" (without quotation marks) in the address bar and confirm.
• Enter the login password ("admin" by default).
• If necessary, select your language and confirm the login.
• You should now see the main page of the web interface.
Basic configuration (all modes)
When you call up the web interface for the first time, you have to make three basic settings.
• First select your country or region from the list and click on it.
• Then, select the correct time zone.
• Now enter a new password for logging into the web interface.
• When you are done, save the settings by clicking on the blue button.
Configuring modes
After you have completed the basic configuration, the wizard for the operating modes is

displayed. The repeater mode is normally selected here.
To select a different operating mode and continue with the configuration, simply click on the
desired operating mode or click on the circle in front of the corresponding operating mode so
that it is marked.
a) Configuration as access point „AP mode" („LAN Bridge (AP)")
• Click on the circle in front of „LAN Bridge (AP)".
• Select a name for each of the 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi networks. You can also assign the same

iPad to the WLAN of the AP.
In some cases your PC can recognise the network connection of the AP as "Public".
There can also be no access to the web interface. If there is no access, open the
network settings of the respective network adapter and change the network profile
from "Public" to "Private". The same can also apply after configuration during recon-
nection.
For Germany or Europe, select "CE/ETSI (EU)". France is listed separately.
For Europe, select „(UTC+01:00) Dublin...".
The password must be at least 6 characters long. We recommend that you use a password
