Before You Begin
It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a router for
configuring the DWL-900AP+. The default IP address for the DWL-900AP+ is
192.168.0.50 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your
computer a Static IP address within the same range as the DWL-900AP+’s IP address
for the purpose of configuration of the DWL-900AP+. See the Manual on the CD-ROM
if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network adapter.
