2. Configure the AP

Method A - Configure with an AP Controller (or a Cudy Mesh device)

Connect the AP to your Cudy Controller/Mesh Device. This connection can optionally be made via a switch or PoE adapter. Wait for the LED on the AP to turn blue, indicating it is connected to the Internet. By default, the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password will be the same as the main device.

Note: If the AP was previously configured, press and hold the Reset button for 2 seconds to enable device adoption.

Method B - Without an AP Controller

Connect the AP to an internet source device such as a modem, router, or wall outlet. Alternatively, place the AP near a known Wi-Fi network.

Connect your device (e.g., smartphone, computer) to the AP's Wi-Fi network. Use the network name (SSID) and password printed on the bottom of the router.

Follow the on-screen illustrations to configure the AP.
