1.3 HARDWARE‐HOUSING



LANNetworkPort

Thewirelessrangeextenderisequippedwithahigh‐speednetworkport,towhichyoucanconnectyourcomputerforthe

initialsetupincaseyourwirelessrouterdoesnotsupportWPS—forexample,VerizonFIOS®wirelessrouters.Youcanuse

theincludednetworkcableforthatpurpose,butitisokaytouseanystandardEthernetnetworkcablethatmeetsor

exceedstheCat5specification.Ifyouarenotsureaboutthis,don’tworry.Anystandardnetworkcablepurchasedfrom

variousretailersoronlineshopswillworkjustfine.

WAN/LANNetworkPort

Ifyousetthewirelessrangeextendertoroutermode,thenyouneedtoconnectyourISP’smodemtothisport.

WPSPushButton

Wi‐FiProtectedSetup(WPS)isacomputingstandardthatattemptstoalloweasyestablishmentofsecurewirelesshome‐

networkconnections.CreatedbytheWi‐FiAllianceandintroducedin2007,thegoaloftheprotocolistoallowhomeusers

whoknowlittleofwirelesssecurityandmaybeintimidatedbytheavailablesecurityoptionstosetuptheencryption

methodWPA2,aswellasmakingiteasytoaddnewdevicestoanexistingnetworkwithoutenteringlongpassphrases.

So,whatdoesthisallmeanforyou?Ifyourwirelessrouterisanewerdevice,thereisagoodchancethatitisequippedwith

aWPSpushbutton,inwhichcaseyouareinluckbecauseaddingthewirelessrangeextendertoyournetworkwilltakejust

acoupleofminutes.IftherouterisalittlebitolderanddoesnotsupportWPS,thesetupwillhavetobedonewithyour

Webbrowser.Whilethistakesalittlebitlonger,thisprocedure,too,isquiteeasy.

2. INSTALLATIONASWIRELESSRANGEEXTENDER

TheManhattanWirelessAC750Dual‐BandRangeExtendercanbeinstalledinoneoftwoways.Thefirstwayinvolvesthe

aforementionedWPS,whilethesecond(wecallitthemanualmethod)usesamoretraditionalsetupprocess.Bothways

leadtothesameresult,anditisonlyamatterofconvenienceastowhyyouwoulduseWPSoverthemanualmethod,

providedyourroutersupportsWPS.



2.1 INSTALLATIONUSINGWPS



IfyourwirelessrouterisequippedwithaWPSbutton(sometimesreferredtoasN‐connect),

thenyoucanconnecttherangeextendertoyournetworkliterallyjustbypushingtwo

buttons.Hereishowitworks.

Step1:

Plugthewirelessrangeextenderintothewalloutlet.Thepositionofthewalloutletmustbe

chosencarefully.Makesurethatyouarecloseenoughtoyourwirelessroutersothatthe

wirelesssignalisstillrelativelystrong.Ifyoumovetoofarawayfromthewirelessrouterand

thewirelesssignalisalreadyquiteweakinthatlocation,youwillnotbeabletoachievegood

results.Useawirelessdeviceandcheckthesignalstrengthinthelocationwhereyouplanto

installtherangeextender.



Note:

Ifthesignalstrengthisbelow60%,youshouldmoveclosertothewirelessrouter.



Step2:Waitforabout60secondstoallowthewirelessrangeextendertocompleteitsstartupsequence.Verifythatthe

powerLEDisilluminated.



Step3:Onyourrouter,locateandpresstheWPSbutton.



Note:ThepictureillustratesthelocationoftheWPSbutton

onaManhattanwirelessrouter.Otherroutersmaynot

havetheWPSbuttoninthesamelocation.Ifyoucannot

findaWPSbutton,youshouldskipthissectionand

continuewiththemanualinstallation.







Step4:

WithintwominutesofperformingStep3,presstheWPSbuttononthewirelessrangeextenderforfiveseconds.Thisaction

willtriggertheWPSconnectionprocess.Itmaytakeuptoaminutetocomplete.Whiletheconnectionisbeingestablished,

theWiFi/WPSLEDwillflash.Oncetheprocessiscompleted,theWiFi/WPSLEDturnsonandremainson.



Step5:

Userawirelessdevicetoconnecttoyourwirelessnetwork.Youneedtoconnecttothesamewirelessnetworkasbefore

becausetheManhattanWirelessAC750Dual‐BandRangeExtenderre‐broadcaststheexistingwirelessnetwork,including

theexistingwirelessnetworkname(calledSSID)andtheexistingwirelesssecurity(forinstance,theWPA2encryptionkey).



Note:IfyouwanttochangetheSSIDoftheamplifiedwirelessnetworkoftheManhattanWirelessAC750Dual‐BandRange

Extender,youcandothatintheadministratorsettingswithanystandardWebbrowser.SeeSection4–“Configuration

Options”forfurtherdetails.ShouldyourunintoproblemswiththeWPSPushButtoninstallationmethod,eventhoughyour

wirelessroutersupportsWPS,proceedwithsettinguptherangeextendermanually,asdescribedinthenextsection.Users

oftheVerizonFIOS®Internetserviceshouldnotethat,whilethewirelessrouterprovidedbytheISPdoesindeedfeaturea

WPSbuttononthefrontofthehousing,itisdisabledinthefirmware.AsofJanuary2015,theWPSfeaturecannotbe

enabled.
