How do I access the access point’s web-based setup page using Mac?

A wired Mac is a computer that you will directly connect to the access point via an Ethernet cable. The Mac needs to have an Ethernet adapter to establish the connection to your access point.

If you’re accessing the web-based setup page of the access point, you need to do the following:

1. Connecting the Mac to LAN Port of the Access Point
2. Assigning a Static IP address on the Mac
3. Accessing the Access Point’s Web-based Setup page 

Connecting the Mac to the LAN Port of the Access Point

Follow the steps below to connect the Mac to the LAN port of the Linksys access point.

Take an Ethernet cable and connect it to the Mac. Take the other end of that same cable and connect it to LAN or Ethernet Port at the back of the access point. After connecting the Mac to the access point, assign a static IP address. For instructions, proceed below.

Assigning a Static IP Address on the Mac               

To assign a static IP address on your Mac, click here. After assigning a static IP address on Mac, access the access point's web-based setup page. For instructions, follow the steps below.

Accessing the Access Point’s Web-Based Setup Page

Step 1:
Open a web browser such as Safari.

Step 2:
Go to the Address bar then enter your access point’s default IP address “192.168.1.245” and press [Return].

NOTE: If the IP address of the access point has been changed, type the access point’s IP address in the Address bar instead.

 The access point’s IP address can be changed by changing it on the access point’s web-based setup page.

 If you forgot the access point’s IP address you can press the Reset button at the back of the access point for 30 seconds.

NOTE: This procedure will reset your access point to factory defaults. Any settings on the access point will be erased. The access point’s IP address will be “192.168.1.245” and the password will be “admin” after resetting. 

Step 3:
A new window will prompt for a Name and Password. Leave the Name field blank, type in your access point’s password “admin” in the Password field then click Log In.

NOTE:  If the password of the access point has been changed, type the access point’s new password in the Password  field instead.

 The access point’s password can be changed by changing it on the access point’s web-based setup page.
