1 Plug the connector of the electric power supply adapter into the DWA0120 power
inlet port ( ). Plug the adapter into a nearby power outlet.
2 Press the power button ( ) on the back panel.
If the LED is blinking green or orange, the DWA0120 is updating its
software. If this is the case, wait until the LED becomes solid on. This can
take several minutes! Do not power o your device or unplug any cables!
5. Connect your network devices
We recommend you to first connect one computer/tablet (if possible via a wired
connection), then complete the rest of the procedure and as a final step connect the
other (wired and/or wireless) devices.
5.1. Connect your wired (Ethernet) devices
If you want to connect a device using a wired (Ethernet) connection:
1 Take the Ethernet cable with the yellow connectors.
2 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports on your
DWA0120.
3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your device.
4 Connect your other Ethernet devices.
5.2. Connect your wireless devices
Wi‑Fi settings label
On the bottom of your DWA0120 you can find a label with:
• The Network Name.
This name is used to identify your Wi‑Fi network. Some use the term SSID instead.
• The Wireless Key.
This key is used to secure your Wi‑Fi network. Only devices that know this key
can connect to your Wi‑Fi network. You can enter this key manually or configure it
automatically using WPS.
If needed, you can change the Wi‑Fi settings using the DWA0120 web interface
(for more information, see “6. Configure your DWA0120 to your needs (optional)” on
page6). But we recommend you to use the default settings.
Tips
To achieve optimal link quality:
• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your
Wi‑Fi devices to a minimum.
• Do not place your Wi‑Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause
interference (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).

7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Turning o the Wi‑Fi
When you press and hold the Wi‑Fi ( ) button between three and eight seconds,
the Wi‑Fi will be turned o on or o depending on its current state.
How can I tell whether the Wi‑Fi is on?
If the LED is:
• Solid green, then the Wi‑Fi is on.
• Solid blue, then the Wi‑Fi is o.
• O, then use one of the following methods to check if the Wi‑Fi is on:
Browse to the DWA0120 web interface and check the colors of the bullet in the
Wireless card. If the bullets are green, then the Wi‑Fi is on.
On a Wi‑Fi device that is within range of the DWA0120, check whether the
DWA0120 appears in the list of available networks.
7.2. WPS troubleshooting
WPS does not start
Make sure that the Wi‑Fi is on. For more information, see “7.1. Turning o the Wi‑Fi”
on page6.
The WPS LED is blinking red
This indicates that your DWA0120 could not connect your Wi‑Fi device.
Do the following:
1 Wait two minutes and then start WPS again.
2 Turn your DWA0120 slightly and then try again.
3 Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of
walls between the two devices and then try again.
4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.
