for the Access Point. The best
place for the Access Point is
usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of
sight to your wireless devices.
Usually, the higher you place

performance will be.

nas. Both should be perpen-
dicular to the ground and
parallel to each other.

network cable to the Access
Point. Connect the other end
of the network cable to a
switch or hub. The Access Point
will then be connected to your
wired network.

the Access Point’s Power port.
Only use the power adapter

through all the steps necessary to
configure the Access Point, so your
wireless and wired networks will be

choose Run. In the field that
appears, enter D:\setup.exe (if
“D” is the letter of your CD-ROM
drive). Then click Setup.
CMake sure the Access Point is
connected to your wired net-
work, so you can configure the
Access Point through any PC
on your wired network. Click
Next.
DThe next screen will display a
list of access points on your
network, along with the status
information for each access
point. Select the Access Point
you want to configure by click-
ing its name. Then click Yes.
NOTE: In order for all other wireless
devices to communicate with the
Access Point, those devices must be
set to infrastructure mode. If any wire-
less devices are configured as ad-hoc
mode, they WILL NOT be recognized by
the Access Point.
