MAC address) and connect to it.
Open your web browser and enter “http://1.1.1.1” for initial configuration.
Enter the default user name ( admin ) and password ( 1234 ). Click Login.
Note: If the WAX510D cannot connect to the Internet, use The DHCP- assigned IP address of the WAX510D to access its web configurator.
Check the connected router or DHCP server for the IP address of the WAX510D.

2 The wizard appears automatically. Use the wizard to set up your WAX510D.
Note: It takes 1 to 2 minutes to apply your wizard changes. The power LED will blink red and green alternatively. The power and WiFi LEDs then turn steady green when the system is ready. Check the Dashboard screen and note down the WAX510D’s IP address in case you need to access its web configurator again.
Note: The 1.1.1.1 is for initial setup only. It is not usable after the WAX510D is configured.
