7. If the Dashboard does not display automatically, do the following:
a. Take one of the following actions:
• If you assigned a static IP address to the access point, enter that IP address
in the address bar of the web browser.
• If you did not assign a static IP address, reenter the IP address that is displayed
in the address bar of the web browser. If that does not work, write down the
IP address, close the web browser, reopen the web browser, and then reenter
the IP address in the address bar of the web browser.
• If you did not assign a static IP address and you closed the page so that you
cannot see the IP address of the access point, use an IP scanner tool, use a
network discovery tool, or access the DHCP server to discover the IP address
of the access point in your network. Then, open a browser and enter the IP
address in the address bar of the web browser.
A login window opens.
b. If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see the information in Step 3.
c. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you just defined on the
Day Zero Easy Setup page. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays. You can now customize the access point settings
for your network environment.

Connect over Ethernet using a directly connected computer

If your network does not include a DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP
server), you can use a computer that is connected through an Ethernet cable to the LAN
port of the access point.
To connect to the access point using a computer that is connected to a LAN port
of the access point:
1. Record the IP address and subnet mask of your computer so that you can reinstate
these IP address settings later.
2. Temporarily change the IP address on your computer to 192.168.0.210 with
255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
(You can actually use any IP address in the 192.168.0.2–192.168.0.254 range, with
the exception of IP address 192.168.0.100, which is the default IP address of the
access point.)
For more information about changing the IP address on your computer, see the help
or documentation for your computer.
