WatchGuard Ethernet Power Injector WG8568 User Manual

To connect directly to your WatchGuard AP device, you must physically connect an Ethernet 
cable between the AP device and a computer, then connect to the Web UI on the AP device 
with a web browser. After you have connected to the WatchGuard AP, you can configure the 
device with an IP address to integrate with your network.

To configure the AP device, you must have these items:



Computer with an Ethernet interface



Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or another similar application)

The default IP address of the WatchGuard AP device is 192.168.1.1. 

To make sure you can connect to the WatchGuard AP device and complete the 
configuration procedure, you must first configure your computer to use these settings:



IP address: 192.168.1.2



Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0



Gateway: 192.168.1.1

1. On your computer, open a web browser and type https://192.168.1.1 in the 

location bar.

2. To log in to the WatchGuard AP, type the default password: wgwap

3. Configure your WatchGuard AP with an IP address and appropriate network settings 

so that the device is on the same network as your WatchGuard XTM device.

When the WatchGuard AP is assigned an IP address, the WatchGuard XTM can connect to 
the AP device by automatic discovery.
