GL-B2200 setup via wifi

GL.iNet Setup (No App)

Use the web UI from a device on the same network. In this example I just plugged my GL-B2200 into my router via the LAN port.

Quick path (default LAN IP)

  1. Default GL.iNet LAN IP is usually 192.168.8.1.
  2. If your current LAN is different (example: 192.168.0.x), which is likely, we will need to add a temporary IP alias in order to communicate with the admin panel:
    • macOS:
      sudo ifconfig en0 alias 192.168.8.200 255.255.255.0
  3. Open the UI in a browser:
    • http://192.168.8.1 or https://192.168.8.1
  4. Log in and complete initial setup (admin password, Wi-Fi SSID, etc.).
  5. Remove the alias when done:
    • macOS:
      sudo ifconfig en0 -alias 192.168.8.200
