The Mede8er MED500X can be connected to your local network by means of a the MED10WF WiFi dongle. The Mede8er is not
compatible with generic WiFi Dongles and we suggest you only use the model MED10WF. This guide is based on Firmware version 2
or higher.
WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION AND SETUP
Plug the MED10WF into the USB extension base that was supplied with your Mede8er. Plug the USB cable into one of the USB host
ports on the side of the Mede8er. Extend the cable and try to place the base in a position that is away from any metal object that could
effect the RF signal strength. The best placement for the dongle will depend on your particular environment. In order to get the best
placement you may need to extend the length with an additional USB extension cable (not supplied).
Note:
The draft N standard prohibits using High Throughput with WEP or WPA2-PSK as the unicast cipher, and your data rate will drop
to 54 Mbps (802.11g) which is normal. Please try other encryption methods (WPA-PSK), or choose to configure an unsecured profile.
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the Router and
the WiFi Dongle.
For best results, place your Router:
* Near the center of the area in which your Mede8er’s will operate,
* In an elevated location such as a high shelf,
* Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones,
* With the Antenna screwed in tight and in the upright position,
* Away from large metal surfaces.
Select the Wireless Setup option.
