How the operation mode affects how you
can reach the local browser UI
The operation mode affects how you can reach the AP local browser UI:
•
Router mode: Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your
browser.
In router mode, you always connect directly to the AP.
•
AP mode: The method to reach the local browser UI depends on how you connect
to the AP:
-
Directly connected: Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of
your browser.
One exception exists: If you assigned a static IP address to the AP, you must use
that IP address to reach the local browser UI.
-
Connected over your network: In the address field of your browser, enter the
IP address that your existing router or DHCP server assigned to the AP. For more
information, see Find the IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net
on page 32.
Find the IP address of the AP when you
cannot use routerlogin.net
Under the following circumstances, when the AP is operating in AP mode, you cannot
use http://www.routerlogin.net (or http://www.routerlogin.com) to log in to the
AP:
•
Your computer or mobile device is not directly connected to the AP network even
it is on the same network as the AP.
•
Your computer or mobile device is directly connected to the AP, but the AP is using
a static IP address.
Note: If the AP can reach its DNS server only over the Internet (for example, the IP
address of the DNS server is 8.8.8.8), you cannot use http://www.routerlogin.net.
However, if the DNS server is the IP address of the router to which the AP connects
but the router’s Internet connection is down, you can use
http://www.routerlogin.net because the AP can still reach the router.
