Notice: After upgrading AP’s firmware to support 4X mode, 22Mbps Wireless AP will support Web-based management; then it CANNOT be managed by the AP Utility software any more. So, please click OK button to ignore the following error message after your AP restarting:

Step 4. Close AP Utility software.

The browser must support JavaScript, and the AP must be pre-configured with valid and known IP settings. Please refer to FAQ, How to manage 22Mbps Wireless AP that supports 4X mode, for details.
