1. These instructions provide steps to configure a Ubiquiti radio to connect to an existing wireless network by attaching as a client to an access point.
2. Key steps include restoring the radio to factory default settings, connecting via Ethernet to the radio's management console at 192.168.1.20, enabling NAT and DHCP server, and selecting the desired access point by its SSID and pre-shared key if protected.
3. Once configured, the radio will connect to the selected access point within 10 seconds, providing wireless connectivity to devices connected via Ethernet to the radio.

1. These instructions assume that your radio is set to FACTORY DEFAULT values. Please restore to factory defaults before proceeding. This is critical, especially if you are troubleshooting a problem. 2. With your Windows 7 PC or Mac computer configured to the 192.168.1.x subnet, connect it to the radio using an Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port is auto-sensing. You are not required to use a cross-over cable. 3. Using a web browser, enter 192.168.1.20 as the "URL" to gain access to the radio's management console. 4. Enter "ubnt" as the administration account and "ubnt" as the password. Configuration Instructions (change ONLY the items shown, leaving others at default values):
A. Choose the |Network| tab Network Mode: Router WAN Network Settings > NAT: [X] Enable LAN Network Settings > DHCP Server> (*) Enabled Press [Change] button DONE with initial configuration
B. In order to use this radio as your new Wi-Fi adapter, you must: Disable your devices internal Wi-Fi radio Set your computer to "Obtain IP Address Automatically" Plug the Ubiquiti radio into your device's Ethernet port Power-up your Ubiquiti radio, using Ubituiti ToughCable (shielded Ethernet cable) and the included Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter. Note: Shielded Ethernet cable reduces the possibility of static electrical damage to the radio. It is particularly important when mounting in RV's and boats.
C. Attach (as a client) to an Access Point Log in to the radio's management console at 192.168.1.1 Select the |Wireless| tab SSID: [Select...] and choose the AP that you wish to attach to NOTE: Think of "Signal" as a temperature. The "more negative" the "colder" or "weaker" the signal. Choose the most appropriate AP, with the strongest signal level as shown in this column of the "Site Survey" widow. Additionally, a signal that is "warmer" than -45 is "too hot" and may cause poor performance.
If it is protected with a Preshared Key, you will be prompted to enter it (and do so) Press [Change] Press [Apply]
Within approximately 10 seconds, you will have a connection to your selected Access Point Close your browser (it is probable that its IP address has changed and you can no longer "Logout").
