1. As Omada Hardware Controller gets its IP address from the DHCP server of the router, we don’t know its IP
address explicitly. However, we can find it out on the router’s DHCP client list.
a. You need first find the IP address of the router. Open the command line on your PC and enter ipconfig. In the
result list, find the Default Gateway, which is also the IP address of the router.
b. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the router. Log into the router’s web page, and both the
username and password are admin by default. Then go to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP
address of your controller according to its MAC address.
c. Enter the IP address of your controller in the address bar to open its web page.
2. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.

Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
