Using an AP-225 as a home stand alone Access point

  • 1.  Using an AP-225 as a home stand alone Access point

    Posted 13 days ago

    I have acquired an AP-225 and want to set it up on my home network to act as another Wi-Fi Access point, but it doesn't seem to to broadcast an SSID so I cant connect to it to set it up. I have tried a factory reset.

    Is this possible.

    Many thanks

    For standalone operations you would need an IAP-225 model. The AP-225 requires a controller to operate.

    Hi Herman

     

    Damn, that is what I was starting to suspect, thanks for confirming, will need to return it, shame, it looked like it would have been an ideal for my use, I know they are discontinued, but great quality and functionality compared with consumer Aps

     

    Thanks very much for your swift response.

    Hi Herman

    I have acquired what has been described as an IAP-325 (see image of label on rear), however when I power this up, I can not detect a broadcast SSID of the format SetMeUp 

    This is what I should expect isn't it?

    Any Ideas?

    Many thanks

    Andy
