How to Configure Access Point in Packet tracer

Here are steps to configure access point in packet tracer;

Step 1: Configure the interface of the router

Enter the following command to configure the interface of the router

Router>enable

Router#configure terminal

Router(config)#int g0/0/0

Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)#no shut

Step 2: Configure DHCP server on the router

Enter the following command to configure the router as a DHCP server;

Router(config-if)#exit

Router(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.2

Router(config)#ip dhcp pool Pool_1

Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 192.168.2.1

Router(dhcp-config)#network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0


Step 3: Configure the Access point

Access points do not need much configuration; for access points to start broadcasting
wireless signals, you just need to navigate to the “config tab>Pot 1,” enter your desired
SSID, select channel width, enter coverage range, select authentication protocol, enter
the security key and then turn on the port status.

Step 4: Connect the host devices

The only host device that is in our network topology is a laptop. To allow it to connect to
an access point using the WiFi signal, we need to remove the Ethernet module and add
the wireless module.
Now navigate to wireless configuration by going to Desktop>PC wireless.

Then search for the network and connect;


Then you will be prompted to enter the security key you created while configuring the
access point.
Because DHCP is configured on the router, this laptop will automatically obtain an IP
address and, therefore, can be reached from other network devices.
