Choose a method to set up your EAPs:
• Method 1: Standalone Mode
Congure and manage EAPs separately (Convenient for a small network
with only a few devices)
• Method 2: Controller Mode
Congure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely
Omada Controller.
Method 2: Controller Mode
Notes:
• A DHCP server (typically a gateway/router with the DHCP function enabled) is required to
assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
• The Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the
gateways/routers, switches, and EAPs) in order to nd, adopt, and manage them.
Omada Controller integrates Omada gateways/routers, switches, access
points, and more for centralized management.
