FIRMWARE UPDATE
WIRELESS NETWORK SETUP (basic)

(Other brands will not work)
Refer to User Instructions supplied with the Mede8er dongle for detailed wireless connection setup.
Power Up and hold on/off button
for 10 seconds
Only use model MED10WFB WiFi Dongle as it is supplied together with the USB extension cable base.
WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION
Plug the MED10WFB into the USB extension base that
was supplied with your Mede8er. Plug the USB cable
into one of the USB host ports on the side of the
Mede8er. Extend the cable and try to place the base in
a position that is away from any metal object that could
effect the RF signal strength. The best placement for
the dongle will depend on your particular environment. In order to get the best placement you may need to
extend the length with an additional USB extension cable.
Note:
The draft N standard prohibits using High Throughput with WEP or WPA2-PSK as the unicast cipher,
and your data rate will drop to 54 Mbps (802.11g) which is normal. Please try other encryption methods (WPA-
PSK), or choose to configure an unsecured profile.
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical
placement of the Router and the WiFi Dongle.
For best results, place your Router:
* Near the center of the area in which your Mede8er will operate,
* In an elevated location such as a high shelf,
* Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones,
