Hi,
I wanted to extend my house LAN to the outside terrace and adjacent garage. I have mounted the EAP225 and wired it directly into my switch in the basement. It comes up as it's own descreet network. WHAT I want to do is have it be part of the existing house LAN, not standalone. I have researcehed this and am totally out of my depth here. If anyone has clear step by step instructions for a non technical person I would sincerely appreciate them.
Thanks

You can change the network name and password to be the same as the rest of your network if you would like.
