Table of Contents
NOTE

This setting is not necessary because AC10 does not have a wireless LAN function.

Compact routers with wireless LAN can operate in two modes: access point mode and station mode. This section describes the connection procedure in access point mode.

Access point mode is a mode in which the compact router is used as the parent unit of the wireless LAN and other devices such as PCs and smartphones are connected as stations (child units).

NOTE

Factory-installed compact routers with wireless LAN start operating as a wireless LAN access point as soon as they are turned on, but Internet communication must be established in order to use them. The two default values for SSID are as follows

  • amnimo-2g-xxxxxxxx
  • amnimo-5g-xxxxxxxx
