1.1 Pre-N

·How to convert the F5D8230-4 Router into an Access Point?
·Placement of your Pre-N
·Some important steps for Pre-N
Using the F5D8230-4 as an Access Point applies to version 100x and v200x
This means that you will be converting the F5D8230-4 ROUTER into an Access Point and then connecting the F5D8230-4/AP to another ROUTER that manages your Network WAN/LAN/AP communications

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. The F5D8230-4 Router can be configured to work as a wireless network Access Point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Router will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address [for the F5D8230-4/AP is] 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized for your need.

1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access Point only” page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the IP settings.
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.
3. Connect a cable [category 5e Ethernet cable] from the WAN port on the Router [now acting as an Access Point] to your existing network Router's available LAN port.

The Router is now acting as an Access Point. To access the Router advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.

Note:Most of the above information can be found on Page 54 of the F5D8230-4 user manual -- Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface. The F5D8230-4 user manual contains a wealth of information that is easy to follow and understand.
