Access Point Setup Guide 
Once your Linksys access point is installed, choose which way you will manage it: 
•
 
Remotely, using the Linksys cloud server, or 
•
 
Locally, through a browser-based user interface 
Setup to manage your access point with Linksys cloud 
server 
Step 1 
Make sure the access point is powered on and connected with an ethernet cable to your network 
with internet access. By factory default, the IP address is assigned by a DHCP server. If there is 
no DHCP server in your network, the default IP address is 192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0. 
Log in to the access point’s browser-based admin tool locally and click the Configure LAN 
Settings link. Change the IP address or VLAN so the access point can access the internet.  
If the indicator light is off, check that the AC power adapter, or PoE cable, is properly connected 
on both ends. 
Step 2 
Enter http://Business.Linksys.com in a web browser to access the cloud dashboard. If you already 
have a Linksys Small Business Cloud server account, log in.
