6.0 Configuring the router as a signal booster
(Wireless Multi Bridge)
If your own modem or your other wireless router has no support for WDS, you can
setup the EM4510 as a signal booster by using the Wireless Multi Bridge option.
Using this option, the Eminent router will connect to your wireless modem or router
using the same technique as your computer does. Once the Eminent router has
established a connection with your wireless modem or router, the Eminent router has
an internet connection. The Eminent router will also broadcast another wireless signal
which your computer can connect to. Your computer will then have an internet
connection.
Use the following steps to setup a Wireless Multi Bridge connection:
6.1 Connecting the signal booster
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
Connect the router to a wall outlet using the supplied power adapter.
3.
Connect the supplied UTP network cable to the ‘LAN 1’ port of the router.
4.
Connect the other end of the UTP network cable to the network adapter of your
computer.
Is my router correctly connected to the wall outlet? You can check this by verifying that
the POWER LED is on.
6.2.Configuring the local wireless network on the signal
booster
Before setting the Eminent router for Wireless Multi Bridge usage, you need to have
the following at hand:
•
The network name of the first wireless router (SSID)
•
The security key of the first wireless router
•
The channel of the first wireless router
Preferably, setting up the Wireless Multi Bridge connection is done using a wired
connection between the wireless Eminent router and the computer.
1.
Turn on your computer.
2.
Open your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox).
3.
Type ‘http://192.168.8.1’ in the address bar.
4.
Press the ‘Enter key’ or click ‘Go to’.
5.
Click 'Setup Tool'.
6.
You will now be asked for a ‘Username’ and a ‘Password’. Fill out ‘admin’ in the
‘Username’ field and ‘admin’ in the ‘Password’ field and press the enter key.
