1. Connect the LAN
: Connect the Wireless Repeater to your PC,
or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN
ports on the rear of the Wireless Repeater to your computer’s
network adapter or to another network device. You may also
connect the Wireless Repeater to your PC (using a wireless
client adapter) via radio signals.
2. Connect the WAN
: Use an Ethernet cable for connecting the
Wireless Repeater to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on
: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless
Router.
Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on
the Wireless Repeater to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless Repeater to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect
your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When
inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into
position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Wireless Repeater. Instead,
use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.
Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals.
Try to place the Wireless Repeater in a position that is located in
the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you
place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the
Wireless Repeater’s location provides optimal reception throughout
your home or office.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central
database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown
in the following figure:
Attach the IEEE 802.11g Wireless Repeater to the Internet
If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or cable
modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable
CAT 5 with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem
directly to the WAN port on the Wireless Repeater.
