So does that mean that I can't open up the config via wifi, solely if I connect to it via a cable? Thanks.

You can connect a computer to the Ethernet port and do an initial config that way. This is how we set up pure Access Points. &nbsp;I do not configure using Wi-Fi.<br />

We have switched to Wi-Fi routers for more flexibility

So in effect it's impossible to run the config via wifi? Thanks.

Thanks. I think you can't enter the config via wifi.

In the end I installed a firmware update and this added the option to switch it over to DHCP lookup from the default fixed IP address. Now it appears on the Wi-Fi network and I can open the browser interface through Wi-Fi. Thank you again.

Thank you for the update. Sometimes firmware is a good idea (I have done this myself).

I've just installed a new NETGEAR WAC104-100UKS AP but I can't find it in my network map when I run a scan. Is that normal? Does it have an IP address? Thanks

Can't see AP on network map

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
