How to Configure AP Mode for WF2416?

The WF2416 supports AP Mode (Access Point), which is used to create a wireless network from an Ethernet connection. This mode is suitable for a room where there’s already a wired router but you need a wireless hotspot.



Note: In AP mode, the only wired port works as LAN and the DHCP server will be disabled. If you want to log in the web management page again after the following steps, please set a static IP for your computer.
