The computers on your LAN need to be set up to cooperate with BLW-
HPMM-U Wireless Router.

card on the host and connected to one of the LAN ports on BLW-HPMM-U
through Cat.5 cable. Be sure that LEDs on BLW-HPMM-U are already
on and the LED corresponds with the port which you connected. If you
switch on BLW-HPMM-U for the first time, owing to the default status, it
