Assign an IP Address to the WatchGuard AP Device
There are two ways the WatchGuard AP device can get an IP address:
• Automatic IP Address Configuration by DHCP - When first powered on, the WatchGuard AP
device automatically requests an IP address from a DHCP server on your network.
• Manual IP Address Configuration - If you do not use DHCP on your network, you must directly
connect to the WatchGuard AP device to assign a static IP address.
To set the IP address on your WatchGuard AP device:
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the AP device to your computer.
• Configure your computer to use these settings: IP Address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.1.
• Open a web browser and type https://192.168.1.1.
• To log in to the WatchGuard AP web UI, type the default password: wgwap.
• Set the IP address of the AP device to an IP address on the same network as your XTM device.
