Rear View Details 

 

• 

Wireless Antenna:

  For better performance, place the 

AP/Router at a high location.  Placing the unit under a 
desk reduces performance. 

• 

Reset Button:

 Pressing this button once performs a soft 

reboot, similar to turning the power on and off. However, 
if you press and hold the button for approximately 10 
seconds, the device will reset to the factory default 
settings, erasing any configuration changes you have 
made (including the password). 

• 

Ports 1 through 4:

 These auto-sensing 10/100 

Ethernet RJ-45 jack ports automatically detect the 
speed of any attached Ethernet device and provide a the 
correct Ethernet connection. All of these ports are 
configured with auto MDI/MDI-X, so they support either 
straight or crossover cables, (Cat 5 UTP). Each port 
supports a maximum cable length of 100 meters over 
category 5 twisted pair cable. 

• 

WAN Port: 

RJ-45 Interface connects to either the DSL 

or Cable modem. 

• 

7.5V Power Jack:

  Connects to the Uniden supplied 

external power adapter to the power jack.

Quick Installation Process 

 

There are three steps to install your AP/Router and create a your 
own Local Area Network (LAN). 

1. 

Hardware Installation:

  Through this process you will 

physically connect your computers to your router.   

2. 

PC Configuration:

  For each computer, you will need to 

make sure they have the same LAN IP Address (The LAN IP 
Address is similar to an area code for making telephone calls.  
In order for all the computers to talk to each other, they must 
reside in the same area code). 

3. 

Basic Router Configuration:

  Within this step you can set 

your Parental Controls, Passwords, and other  features of 
your AP/Router. 

 

STEP 1: HARDWARE INSTALLATION 

NOTE:  During the hardware installation process, please 

make sure all computers and the router are turned 
off until the installation process is complete. 

Before installing the 

WNR2004

 you will need the following: 

• 

One external DSL or Cable modem with an Ethernet 
Port. 

• 

Network Cables with RJ-45 connectors (UTP CAT 5).   

• 

TCP/IP network protocols installed on all PCs. (See 
page 91 if you need assistance)
