Hardware Installation
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have
enough information about the WRT-416.
Keep the wireless router as central in your work area as possible.
Signal strength and speed fall off with distance.
Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a
bookcase rather than the bottom one, if possible.
Prior to connecting the hardware, make sure to power off your Ethernet
device and Wireless Router. Then follow the steps below to connect the
related devices.
Step 1: Connect your computer to the LAN port of WRT-416 by
using RJ-45 cable. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable
with RJ-45 connector to your hub, switch or a computer’s
Ethernet port, and the other end to one of the LAN ports of
your router.
Step 2: Assemble the antenna to WRT-416. Try to place them
to a position that can best cover your wireless network. The
antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
Step 3: Connect the power adapter. Connect the single DC output
connector of the power adapter to the power jack on the side
of the AP. Then plug the Power Adapter into an AC outlet.
Step 4: Power on the following devices in this order: HUB or
Switch, router, and PCs
ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WRT-416.
Otherwise, the product may be damaged.
If you want to reset your WRT-416 to default settings,
press the Reset button 5 second. Then release the
button and wait for 10 seconds for rebooting.
