Ethernet (LAN) Ports
Use 1000-BASE-T RJ-45 cables to connect two network devices to a Gigabit LAN,
or 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 cables for standard network usage. These ports are auto-
sensing MDI/X; so either straight-through or crossover cable can be used.

2.3 Initial Device Setup
AP Device Setup
1. Setup the first Wireless Gaming Bridge by plugging in the power adapter and
press the Power Button to the ON position (IN). Set the Wireless Gaming
Bridge to AP Mode by sliding the AP/Station Switch to the up position.
2. Connect the Wireless Gaming Bridge to a Network Device (Gateway, Router,
etc.) with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. You can use either Ethernet ports of the
Wireless Gaming Bridge to make this connection.
Client Device Setup
3. Setup the additional Wireless Gaming Bridge closest to the location you want
to directly connect the Internet Enabled Device (STB, DVR, etc.). Plug in the
power adapter and press the Power Button to the ON position (IN). Set the
Wireless Gaming Bridge to Station mode by sliding the AP/Station to the
down position.
4. Connect the Wireless Gaming Bridge to an Internet Enabled Device (STB,
DVR, etc.) with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. You can use either Ethernet ports
of the Wireless Gaming Bridge to make this connection.

2.3.2 Setup of Wireless Devices via Manual Connection
NOTE: If you do not wish to setup your Wireless Gaming Bridges via WPS you
can set it up manually.
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of a Notebook/PC (setup
with a fixed IP 10.0.0.11 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and the other end
into the Ethernet port of the Wireless Gaming Bridge that is in Station mode.
2. Open your Internet browser to access 10.0.0.10 and input the Username:
root and Password: 12345
3. Once you have accessed the Web UI, click Config> Wireless (as shown
below). Next, click “Scan AP.”

13
4. Select an SSID (AP unit) and input the passphrase. The SSID and passphrase
(WiFi Key) can be found a label on the bottom on the Wireless Gaming
Bridge. Next, click “connect.”
5. To confirm that the connection is sucessful, check that the current SSID is
the same as the one that you tried to connect to in the previous step.

Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI)
using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later).
3.1 Default Settings
The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.
• LAN IP address AP: 10.0.0.2
• LAN IP address STA: 10.0.0.10
• LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Administrative access (username: root, password: 12345)
Caution: The LAN setting default is DHCP mode, if a device connects to the DHCP
network, the LAN IP will be changed by the DHCP server assigned.
Technical Note
During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then
read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.
The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different
values are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be
created via the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management
protocols. The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the
reset button for more than ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or
by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.

16
3.2 IP Configuration
STATIC IP MODE
In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually.
Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 10.0.0.x.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However,
the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
Check your OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1:From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection
(You may also access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area
Connection icon on your taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2:Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
STEP 3: Change the IP address to the 10.0.0.x (10<x<254) subnet with subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. The screen should now display as shown
below.
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings.
