4) SET IP ADDRESS: To successfully communicate to the HWUR54G, an IP
Address must be assigned to the unit. If you are on a network with a router that
distributes IP Address automatically (DHCP) you have the option to automatically
configure the IP Address. However the Extender must be connected to your network
and not directly to the PC for this to work.
You may also manually assign your IP Address (Recommended).
Note: The IP Address of the device must be in the same context/subnet of the PC it is
connected to in order to complete the setup of the device. The listed IP Address in
the Setup Wizard is the recommended IP based on the IP Address on your PC. You
may change the last number of the IP Address but it is highly recommended that you
DO NOT adjust the other numbers.
When you have selected your IP Address click “Next” to continue the setup.

Range Extender Setup Screen
Please view the setup diagram in this section to get a general idea of how
your wireless network setup should look like with the Hawking Range
Extender. (This section will go over the basics of what is needed to get
started. For more information on advanced settings please view the
Users Manual)
1) SSID of Original AP
The Original Wireless Access Point will be the source of the Wireless
network that you wish to extend.
Please input the SSID (Wireless Identification Name) of the “Original
Access Point” into the field that states SSID of Original AP.
(Note: If you do not know your Original AP’s SSID please contact your
wireless network administrator or contact Hawking technical support)
2) Channel Selection
The Range Extender must be set to the same channel that your original
access point is set on. So if the Channel number of your Original AP is
5 then the Range Extender must also be set to 5.
3) SSID of Extender
The SSID of the Extender is an identification name assigned to the Range
Extender so that wireless computers can access and connect to the
Extender. (It is recommended NOT to use the same ID as the Original
AP)
4) OPTIONAL – Security
If your wireless network uses WEP (Wireless Security) you will have to
input the correct security key associated to the original access point to
function correctly. If your wireless network does not use security
please skip this step.
Click APPLY when complete, allow 15 seconds for the Range Extender to
reboot. Disconnect the power and Ethernet cable and follow the next
step.
