+By default, the Reference Design implements an 802.11 compatible access point with SSID "WARP". To use the design in this configuration:
+
 1. Plug ETH A from a WARP v3 board into a router whose WAN port is connected to the Internet. The 802.11 Reference Design is not a router -- it does not have a DHCP server to issue IP addresses to associated stations. It will, however, pass DHCP requests and responses through its Ethernet portal, so connecting WARP v3 to a router will allow DHCP to occur on client stations.
 1. Download the 802.11 Reference Design and program a WARP v3 board with the provided bitstream.
 1. Use any 802.11 device (such as a computer or smartphone) to join the unsecured network with SSID of "WARP." At this point, the 802.11 device should be able to access the network.

+1. Ensure your Xilinx tools match the version used to create the reference design (see the [wiki:../Downloads downloads] page for the current versions)
+1. Ensure your local copy of the WARP edk_user_repository is up to date and in the repository search path of XPS (see [wiki:edk_user_repository edk_user_repository] for details)
+1. Download the 802.11 Reference Design archive and expand the inner .zip archive in {{{<ref_design_archive>/EDK_Projects/w3_802.11_EDK_vXXX.zip}}}.
