Q11: I just got a “Firmware Upgrade” and can’t enter GL2422-AP-0T web interface?

If you meet GL2422-AP-0T such picture means it is in "backup mode".
1. If happened in such "backup mode", just feed it with proper firmware, then it will back to normal mode.
2. If user press the reset button first and then power on, then GL2422AP-0T will enter "backup mode".
3. If user just turn on power and press reset button immediately more than twice, then GL2422AP-0T will enter "backup mode".

Q10: How to get connect and configure GL2422-AP?

The factory default set GL2422-AP enabled as a DHCP server and it is embedded with a web browser interface for management and configuration. So, a wireless LAN installer may connect GL2422-AP to an Ethernet LAN and setup from any PC with web browser. From the PC LAN card setting, release IP address and refresh IP address again, you may check the DHCP Server IP address (ex:192.168.1.1), then type http://192.168.1.1/ at the web browser URL address field, you may connect to the GL2422-AP, enter the password for administrator then you can manage it.
 

Q09: What are GL2422-AP operation modes?

The GL2422-AP is designed principally as a wireless LAN access point that is the base station for wireless clients to communicate with each other (wireless infrastructure mode) and provides a connection to the Ethernet wired LAN. In addition to the access point function mode, it can be set to other modes for some indoor applications. Because it is embedded with only one processor, one radio channel and one LAN port, so it performs one function mode at a time. In other words, "AP", "AP Client", "Wireless Bridge", "Multiple Bridge" can be selected to be one function at a time.
 

Q08: What is "Access Point" of AP mode?

When GL2422-AP is set to "AP mode", it accept radio signals from other wireless stations like PC with PCI card, Notebook with PCMCIA / CardBus adapter, or PC / notebook with USB adapter and communicating in "Infrastructure mode" and pass packets between wireless and Ethernet LANs.

Q07: What is "AP Client" of AP mode?

One of the additional AP operating modes offered by 22mbps Access Point, which allows the Access Point to act as an Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge, thus a LAN or a single computer station can join a wireless ESS network through it.
When GL2422-AP is set to "AP Client" mode, it is no longer an access point, it performs a wireless client adapter only and transfer packets from Ethernet port of a PC or notebook to talk with radio signals to another access point. This is specially designed for some wireless system integrator who are planning projects for "Ethernet only" PC to connect to the wireless network.

 

Q06: What is "Wireless Bridge" of AP mode?

When GL2422-AP is set to "Wireless Bridge" mode, it needs another "Wireless Bridge" to work together, the major function is to transfer packets from Ethernet LAN to wireless to the second bridge then to the other side of Ethernet LAN. It is no longer to accept other wireless client's request in this mode (ie: that is access point function.). To set GL2422-AP in "Wireless Bridge" mode, AP1 "Remote Bridge MAC" needs to point to the AP2 LAN MAC address and AP2 "Remote Bridge MAC" needs to point to the AP1 LAN MAC address.
 

Q05: What is "Multiple Bridge" of AP mode?

Multiple Bridge is one of the additional AP operating modes offered by 22mbps Access Point, which allows a group of APs that consists of two or more APs to connect two or more Ethernet networks or Ethernet enabled clients together. The way that multiple bridge setup is based on the topology of Ad-Hoc mode.

When GL2422-AP is set to "Multiple Bridge" mode, it can talk to the other "Multiple Bridge" mode GL2422-AP, no specific MAC address needs to be set and several "Multiple Bridge" GL2422-APs can talk to each other on the same radio channel. Likewise, it transfer packets between multiple LANs to each other, no wireless client can access this channel directly. A GL2422-AP set in "Wireless Bridge" mode can also connect to one and only one of the "Multiple Bridge" with the proper "Remote Bridge MAC" set.

Q04: How to enhance security function of GL2422-AP from hacker attack?

Please upgrade firmware to version 3.02.0c or above. This version firmware improves security to be attacked by hacker through TFTP and UDP.
 

Q03: We set two GL2422-APs to work with bridge mode, but it sometimes disconnect?

The default setting of GL2422-AP is to work with diversity antenna, it dynamically switches antenna for the best receiving signal. Some of the users install GL2422-AP in bridge application with external antenna, normally they use only one side of antenna.

In such case, it is required for that GL2422-AP to be configured to work at "right antenna" or "left antenna" which is used by the external antenna. Some of the bridge installations solve problem with such setting.
 

Q02: How to reset GL2422-AP back to factory default setting?

To reset GL2422-AP to factory default, when it is powered ON, press "reset" button more than 5 seconds.

After you release the button, all LED will flash and back to normal, it will be back to factory default settings.
 

Q01: How to upgrade GL2422-AP to support IEEE802.1X security feature?  

Please upgrade the GL2422-AP firmware to version 3.3.0 and upgrade GL2422-AP Windows Utility to version 1.4.
