You can connet it directly o the Laptop using Crossover CAT5. To the best of my recollection there is no USB on 900AP.

there's a ethernet connection and console ( which looks like a usb) connection. what software should i use to configure it?

 

[JackMDS]

The simplest option is to plug it via CAT5 to a computer, and use the Internal IP to configure.

The manual should have the Info.

You type the AP's IP to the Address Bar in the Inerent Browser.
