The Access Points needs to be in FIT AP mode for the gateway to be able to control them. Clicking FAT AP in the Home screen of the Access Point will set the operating mode to FIT AP ready for Gateway operation. Another way of switching between modes on the access point is by entering the URL: – IPNumberofAccessPoint/mode_switch.html into your browser.

Device network:  The area where you enter the IP allocation method that you will be using for all of the Access Points that are connected to the gateway

  • DHCP (IP is automatically allocated by the Gateway).

  • Static (IP is set by the user and not allocated automatically).

  • The IP set can be seen in the device list screen under Device IP.

  • Default is DHCP with IP 192.168.200.18 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.254.0

  • In wireless basic, you can configure the AP connected to the gateway.

  • In the device list drop-down box WLAN Device 1 is 2.4G and the WLAN Device 2 is 5G

The Config button allows you to define:

  • The security protocol (Default is WPAPSKWPA2PSK

  • Quality of Service (0oS) technology helps prevent unequal distribution of resource.
  • QoS takes each client’s specific needs into account.
  • For example if someone is using Netflix, VolP, YouTube that user data gets priority.
  • QoS, also known as traffic shaping, assigns priority to each device and service operating on your network and controls the amount of bandwidth each is allowed to consume based on its mission.
  • In Smart QoS you can assign priority to a specific device using its IP or MAC address.
