UNDERSTANDING THE OWA0131 MULTI-FUNCTION LED
Wired or Wir
eless
Pairing the OWA0131 with your gateway can be achieved with either a wir
ed or
wireless (‘backhaul’) connection. In both cases we suggest that you first set up
your OWA0131 with both in the same location.
Once paired, the OW
A0131 can be used either as a wired extender or a wir
eless
extender. The connection will adjust automatically to the connection type.
WIRED
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, plug the cable to one of the yellow sockets on
your gateway and to the yellow socket on the OWA0131.
Using the supplied power adapter plug in and power up your OWA0131.
From this point EasyMesh pairing is automatic and it will take two to thr
ee
minutes for the OWA0131 to be configur
ed with the Wi-Fi details of your gateway
.
Once completed the LED on your OWA0131 will be solid Gr
een.
WIRELESS
Using the supplied power adapter plug in and power up your OWA0131 near to
your gateway (e.g. 2 metres).
The OWA0131 will take ar
ound 30 seconds to power up and complete its boot
sequence. Once the top LED is flashing slowly yellow the OWA0131 can be W
i-Fi
paired to your gateway using WPS pairing.
Press the top button on your OW
A0131 and then press the WPS pairing button
on your gateway. The LED on the OW
A0131 will flash slowly Green during the
WPS pairing.
Once WPS pairing is complete, EasyMesh pairing automatically starts and it
will take two to three minutes for the OW
A0131 to be configured with the W
i-Fi
details of your gateway.
After wireless EasyMesh pairing is completed the LED on your OW
A0131 will be
solid Orange. The OWA0131 can now be moved to the optimum position.
