DISCOVER AND PAIR GWN76XX ACCESS POINTS
In this guide, we will consider an environment where different GWN76xx access points models are installed,
one of them will be Master over the remaining ones (Slaves) as shown in Figure 1.
To set a GWN76xx as Master, we need to access to its web interface by discovering it first on the network.
The following chapter describes two methods how to discover a GWN76xx connected to network and
configure it as Master.
Discover GWN76xx
Once the GWN76xx is powered up and connected to the network correctly, it can discovered using one of
the following methods:
Method 1: Discover GWN76xx using its MAC address
1. Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the underside of the device, or on the
package.
2. From a computer connected to same network as the GWN76xx, type in the following address
https://gwn_[MAC_address].local/ using the GWN76xx’s MAC address on your browser.
For example, if a GWN7610 has the MAC address 00:0B:82:8B:4E:28, this unit can be accessed by
typing https://gwn_000b828b4e28.local/ on the browser.
