WAX 214 AP

I have 9 WAX 214 access points in my home.  Upon installation, each AP was renamed.  Each has a unique login password.  However, all were set up to broadcast the same SSID using the same WiFi password.  How can I access each access point individually to change the some of the settings?  I have tried opening 192.168.1.1in browser but am prompted for admin name and pw.  The problem is that I don't know which access point I'm connected to.  I need to be able to access each AP individually to alter some settings.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Log into the router managing them and check the IP addresses for them. it might take a little searching to find a specific device. 

  • To access each WAX214 individually, you'll need to log in using each unit's unique IP address rather than 192.168.1.1. Check your router's DHCP client list to find the IPs assigned to each AP, then enter those directly in your browser to manage them one by one.
