Management Plane

EnGenius Station provides flexible options to manage your devices based on your network planning and deployment.

Option A: App Management

Option B: Standalone Configuration

App Management

Manage and monitor the Access Point through the EnWiFi Platform with a mobile app.

EnWifi App (iOS/ Android)

⬇️ Download the EnWiFi mobile app here

Standalone Configuration

Using your computer, you can connect to the same network (subnet) as the Access Point and use the web browser to access the device's local web GUI page for configurations whenever the device is set to Standalone mode.

Option A: App Management with EnWiFi

Station solution is a complete turn-key solution for managed Wi-Fi, not only with devices added to the management system but even during the deployment on the go. With the EnWiFi App, it facilitates the initial quick set-up for an AP or a group of APs before being added to the management system. This is especially helpful for service providers or operators to do initial deployment on-site with devices just taken out of the box with factory default settings.

For a configuration with a single device, upon AP power-up, this unmanaged AP will broadcast a specific management SSID for connection. Users can look at the back of the AP to match the last 6 digits of the MAC address with its corresponding SSID. For ease of group configuration on a bunch of APs sharing common settings, EnWiFi App is also capable of using a selected AP to discover all other APs for further configuration.

For WLAN deployments needing coverage extensions, besides devices’ wireless settings, EnWiFi App will also assist users in setting up WDS links to extend the coverage. After the App installation, follow the wizard for network setup.

Option B: Standalone Configuration

Step 1: Access to Local Web

  1. Use your client device (e.g., a laptop, mobile device, or tablet) to find the SSID: "EnMGMTxxxx" and connect to it.

EnMGMTxxxx - xxxx is the last four digits of MAC - MAC can be found on the device label on the back of the access point.

2. Under your web browser, enter the URL: http://EnGenius.local or http://192.168.1.1 to access the device's user interface.

3. Use the default login credential (ID/PWD: admin/admin) to log in to the device's local web page.

Step2: Configure and Manage the Device

After logging into the device's local web page, navigate to the left side menu to configure and manage the AP accordingly.
