The wireless access point obtains its address from the DHCP pool defined for the wireless interface. It should
get the first address in the pool. If you used the example addresses, this is 192.168.10.2. (Try the next address
in the pool if the first one does not work.)
a. Use a new browser window to go to the wireless access point IP address, for example,
http://192.168.10.2. The access point web interface should appear.
You must be on the inside network, or a network that can route to it, to open this address.
b. Log in with the username cisco and password Cisco.
c. On the left, click Easy Setup > Network Configuration.
d. In the Radio Configuration area, for each of the Radio 2.4GHz and Radio 5GHz sections, set at least the
following parameters and click Apply for each section.
● SSID—The Service Set Identifier. This is the name of the wireless network. Users will see this name when
selecting a wireless network for their Wi-Fi connection.
● Broadcast SSID in Beacon—Select this option.
● Universal Admin Mode: Disable.
● Security—Select whichever security option you want to use.
7. While in the wireless access point web interface, enable the radios.

Restore the Wireless Access Point Configuration (ASA 5506W-X)
