NetReach User Guide

Extending an Ethernet Network

The NetReach can also be used to extend a wired Ethernet network. To accomplish this, setup
the NetReach as you normally would to be a wireless access point. Place the NetReach in your
desired location and plug your remote Ethernet cable into the WAN port on the back of the unit.
Any devices connected to this port will now have network connectivity.

To extend the  network into a remote location you can use  the  WDS feature of the  NetReach.
Set  up a WDS configuration as previously described.  Then move  the remote NetReach to the
location you wish to provide Wi-Fi coverage and Ethernet extension to.  You can now connect
any  Ethernet  connected  device  to  either  the  WAN  or  LAN  port.    This  gives  you  the  ability  to
provide wired connectivity where there currently is no Ethernet access.
