- Connect the Internet Lan cable to the Eth0 PORT on your Server

Make sure you have internet connection by surfing the internet on the server.

- Connect the access point Lan cable to the Eth1 PORT on your Server

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING with Eth1 , DISABLE DHCP FEATURE from your AP (if present)

If your using a Wireless Router please Disable the DHCP feature and connect Eth1 to LAN port , NOT WAN port!
