Setting up a basic Stand Alone AP

This guide shows you how to set up a TP-Link Omada EAP as a basic standalone AP.

• An EAP with no Configuration on it.

• Connect EAP to power and allow AP to power up.

Power up EAP and connect laptop to PoE Injector or same switch AP is connected to. Given your Laptop an IP in the 192.168.0.1/24 range. Open a web browser and navigate to either https://tplinkeap.net/ or the IP address of 192.168.0.254. You should then see a log in screen.

Log into the web interface using admin for the user name and admin for the password. You will then be prompted to set a new user name and password.

Once the password has been changed you will then be prompted to set up Basic wireless settings.

To enable both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands make sure both the tick boxes are checked. You can use the same SSID name for both bands or have a different name for each. For Example SURVEY_2.4GHz & SURVEY_5GHz. For this example we are going to use the same name for both bands.

Hit the save button and the settings will be applied.

The AP is now set up with a basic SSID. Check the Wi-Fi networks list on any wireless enabled device to see the SSID being broadcast. The web interface will then bring up more advanced settings which can be applied to a stand alone AP.
