Antennas
The access point includes integrated MIMO antennas for wireless communications.
A MIMO antenna system uses two or more identical antennas to receive and
transmit signals, helping to increase data throughput and range. The antennas
transmit the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the
coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to the antenna. The antenna
should be adjusted to an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the
service area.

Ethernet RJ-45 Ports
The wireless AP/Router has the following RJ-45 ports:
• The four RJ-45 LAN ports are for connections to PCs or to a 10/100 Mbps network
switch.
• The RJ-45 WAN port is for connection to a DSL or cable modem, or to a LAN or
other device that provides your Internet access.
All RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to
half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X. Automatic MDI/MDI-X support
enables you to use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs,
switches, or hubs.
Power Socket
The wireless AP/Router does not have a power switch. It is powered on when
connected to the AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power
source. The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240
volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Reset Button
The Reset button can be used to restart the wireless AP/Router or restore the
factory default configuration. If you press the button for less than 5 seconds, the
wireless AP/Router will restart. If you press and hold down the button for 5 seconds
or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed and the
wireless AP/Router is restored to its factory default configuration.
WPS Button
Use the WPS button on the wireless AP/Router to automatically connect devices to
the network. Within two minutes, press the physical or virtual button on a single
wireless client device to enable it to join the WLAN.
The WPS configuration process may be initiated on any device. Only one client
device can connect with the wireless AP/Router after the WPS button is pressed.
There is no restriction to the order in which buttons are pressed.
Note: Any WPS-compatible devices could unintentionally join the WLAN if they are
within range during the two-minute set up period after the WPS button is pressed.
Note that only one device at a time can join the network when using the WPS
button.

Hardware Installation
1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the wireless AP/Router . In general,
the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of
sight of all wireless devices. For optimum performance, consider these points:
• Mount the
wireless AP/Router as high as possible above any obstructions in
the coverage area.
• Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other
obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the
coverage area.
• Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those
containing metal).
Note: When choosing a site for mounting the router on a wall, consider the accessibility
for network cabling.
2. Mount the Wireless AP/Router – The wireless AP/Router can be mounted on
any horizontal surface.
Mounting on a wall or wood surface – The access point should be mounted
only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its
equivalent.
• For wall or wood surface mounting, use a cross-head screwdriver and the
20-mm M4 tap screws (not included). Or, drill two holes and insert two hooks.
• Mount the access point to the screws or hooks.
Note: Mount the router with the front panel facing upward so that the status LED
indicators are clearly visible.

Chapter 2: Installation
The wireless AP/Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the
web-based management interface. For information on setting the mode suitable for
your network environment, see “Operation Mode configuration” on page 5-4.
•Gateway Mode — A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients
to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory
set default mode.
•Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless
clients.
In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports a
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link to another wireless AP/Router. These
advanced configurations are not described in this section. See “Network Planning”
on page 3-1 for more information.
In a basic configuration, how the wireless AP/Router is connected depends on the
operating mode. The following sections describe connections for basic Gateway
Mode and Bridge Mode operation.
Gateway Mode
In its default Gateway Mode, the wireless AP/Router forwards traffic between an
Internet connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or wireless PCs or notebooks.
The basic connections are illustrated in the figure below.

To connect the wireless AP/Router in Gateway Mode for use as an Internet gateway,
follow these steps:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the wireless AP/Router’s WAN port to your
Internet connected cable or ADSL modem.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the wireless AP/Router’s LAN port to your PC.
Alternatively, you can connect to a workgroup switch to support multiple users.
The wireless AP/Router can support up to 253 wired and wireless users.
3. Power on the wireless AP/Router by connecting the AC power adapter and
plugging it into a power source.
Caution: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with the wireless AP/Router. Otherwise,
the product may be damaged.
When you power on the wireless AP/Router, verify that the Power LED turns on
and that the other LED indicators start functioning as described under “LED
Indicators” on page 1-3.
4. Set up wireless devices by pressing the WPS button on the wireless AP/Router
or by using the web interface. See “Initial Configuration” on page 4-1 for more
information on accessing the web interface.
Bridge Mode
In Bridge Mode, the wireless AP/Router operates as a wireless access point,
extending a local wired network to associated wireless clients (PCs or notebooks
with wireless capability). From any nearby location, you can then make a wireless
connection to the wireless AP/Router and access the wired network resources,
including local servers and the Internet.
In Bridge Mode, the wireless AP/Router does not support gateway functions on its
WAN port. Both the LAN port and the WAN ports can be connected to a local
Ethernet LAN.
Note: Bridge Mode is not the factory default mode and must be manually set using the
web management interface.
