What we do
- Configure your PC interface so that you can reach the AP web interface. Default IPs: Linksys: 192.168.1.1 Ubiquiti 192.168.20.1
- Get familiar with web gui, study the settings
- Flash device to OpenWRT (see instructions below)
- In OpenWRT, configure the AP so that it can sit on our lab network and work as Access Point.
- When done, move the AP to our lab switch and try to connect to it wirelessly.
- Once that works, continue with setting up 802.1x for the AP.
