A TG234 access point mode
3
The
WPS
LED on both devices starts blinking orange and then turns solid green as soon as the connection has been
established.
4
Wait for two minutes to allow the TG234 to switch to repeater mode and then check the following LEDs:
The
Link Quality
LED must be solid green or orange.
The
Access Point
LED must be solid green.
5
The TG234 repeater is now connected to your access point.
Step 4: Connect the TG234 to your set-top box (optional)
Optionally, you can connect up to two set-top boxes to the TG234. The TG234 will then work both as repeater for your
access point and station for your set-top box. This way you can use one TG234 for two functions and you do not need a
dedicated TG234 to connect your set-top box.
For each set-top box, proceed as follows:
1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (this is the cable with the yellow connectors) to the one of the yellow Ethernet
ports on the back of your TG234.
2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your set-top box’s Ethernet port.

The number of set-top boxes that you can connect depends on the quality of your wireless signal and bandwidth
used for your video signal.
Be aware that after a restart (or power cut) the TG234 will re-evaluate its situation as described in
“How the TG234
chooses the correct mode when switched to Auto” on page 9
. As a result, the TG234 will then switch to
Station
mode
because it detected a set-top box on the Ethernet port at start-up.
To avoid this, switch the TG234 to
Repeater
mode if you plan to connect devices to the Ethernet port.
