Congratulations. You have successfully completed the installation proce-
dure. You can verify your network connection by registering your Wireless
MAXg Access Point at
www.usr.com/productreg/ .
Connecting a Wireless Device
The Wireless MAXg Access Point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS). If
your wireless device also supports WPS, you can use it to connect the device to
the access point. See the documentation for your wireless device to determine
whether it supports WPS. If it does not, follow the instructions in “Without Wi-
Fi Protected Setup” on page 9.
With Wi-Fi Protected Setup
1. Be ready to start WPS on your wireless device.
2. Log in to the configuration pages of the access point:
If you know the IP address of the access point, simply type it in your Web
browser's location or address line and press ENTER. If you do not know the
IP address of the access point, follow one of the procedures below to find it:
Using the Network Device Locator (Windows Users Only)
A. Windows Vista or XP: Click Windows Start > All Programs > USRo-
botics Network Device Locator.
All Other Windows Operating Systems: Click Windows Start > Pro-
grams > USRobotics Network Device Locator.
The locator displays its welcome screen.
B. Click Next.
The locator lists the access point as well as any other USRobotics devices
that were found:
C. Find the Wireless MAXg Access Point in the list. (If you have more than
one Wireless MAXg Access Point, find the device whose MAC address
matches the LAN MAC address on the bottom of the access point that
you are trying to access). Note the IP address associated with the LAN
MAC address of the access point.
D. Click Next.
Manually Finding the IP Address of the Access Point
A. Access the configuration program or configuration pages of the network-
ing device connected to the access point. For detailed instructions, con-
sult the documentation for the networking device.
B. Find the list of clients associated with the networking device.
C. On the client list, find the LAN MAC address of the access point.

English
9
D. Note of the IP address associated with the LAN MAC address of the
access point.
3. In the location or address line of your Web browser, enter the IP address of
the access point and press ENTER.
4. On the Status page, click the link “Add wireless device”.
5. Do one of the following:
"To connect a WPS device using a push button, click Find Device, then
push the WPS button on the device.
"To connect a WPS device using a PIN, enter the device's PIN and click
Add Device, then start WPS on the device.
The wireless device detects the security settings of the access point and cre-
ates a secure wireless connection to the network.
Without Wi-Fi Protected Setup
1. Ensure that the wireless device to be connected to the network is set to infra-
structure mode. For instruction in changing your device’s wireless mode, see
your wireless device’s documentation.
2. Set the network name or SSID in the wireless device’s settings to the network
name that is used on the access point. You can find the network name for the
access point on the Status page displayed when you log in to the configura-
tion pages (see step 2 on page 8).
3. Ensure that the wireless security settings for the wireless device match those
that you set on the access point. You can find the wireless security settings
for the access point on the Status page. For instruction in changing your
device’s wireless security settings, see your wireless device’s documentation.

Troubleshooting
General
This basic procedure addresses a number of symptoms that you might experi-
ence with your access point:
1. Verify that the power cord and the Ethernet cable are connected securely.
See the installation illustrations on page 4.
2. Ensure that the power outlet to which the access point is connected is a live
outlet.
3. Make sure that you are receiving power and that all 3 LEDs are lit.
4. For connectivity issues:
A. Turn off all of you networking devices. If a device does not have a power
switch, disconnect its power supply.
B. Starting with the device closest to your ISP connection and ending with
the access point, supply power to the networking devices, one at a time,
letting each device’s LEDs stabilise before supplying power to the next
one.
C. Restart your computer.
5. For wireless connections:
"Low link quality or range can be caused by environmental interference,
such as lead-based paint and concrete walls, or some electronic items,
such as 2.4GHz phones. Try moving the antenna of the access point or
repositioning the wireless device to improve the link quality.
"Verify that the following settings on the connected device match those of
the access point.
oMode (must be Infrastructure mode)
oNetwork name or SSID
oSecurity type and key or passphrase.
Refer to your wireless device’s documentation to determine how to change these
settings.
Specific Problems
If following the basic procedure above does not help solve your problem, find
the procedure below whose description best matches the symptom that you are
observing.

English

The Network Device Locator does not find the Wireless MAX g Access
Point
1. Click Detect to rescan the network.
2. If the locator still does not find the access point, look at the client list for the
networking device that is connected to the access point. Refer to the device’s
documentation to find out how to view the client list.
3. In the client list, find the MAC address shown on the bottom of the access
point and note the IP address associated with that MAC address. This is the
IP address of the access point.
4. Start a web browser, type the IP address of the access point, and press
ENTER.
5. Verify that the connection information is correct for the network to which
the access point is connected.
The Wireless
MAX g Access Point does not appear when I scan for it with a
wireless device
The access point may not be broadcasting its network name. Ensure that the net-
work name is being broadcast as follows:
1. Using a computer connected to the same networking device as the access
point, start a Web browser.
2. Type the IP address of the access point, and press ENTER to display the
configuration pages of the access point. You can get the IP address from the
locator.
3. Click the Wireless tab and verify that Broadcast network name is selected.
If it is not selected, select it, scroll to the bottom of the Wireless page, and
click Save.
My wireless device is not communicating with the Wireless
MAX g Access
Point
!The access point may not have received a valid IP address for your network.
If the IP address is set to Dynamic, make sure that the access point is con-
nected to a DHCP server. If you use a static IP address, verify that it is in the
same subnet as your wireless device’s IP address.
!The access point may not be responding. Try the following:
1. Reconnect by following the steps in “Connecting a Wireless Device” on
page 8.
2. If you still are not communicating with the access point, restore the fac-
tory default settings of the access point to reactivate it.
Note:When you restore the factory default settings, the access point
will lose all custom settings.

12
English
To restore the factory default settings, use a small object such as a paper
clip to press in and hold the reset button on the back of the access point
for 10 seconds.
After you restore the access point, reconfigure the access point by per-
forming “Step Two: Configure the Basic Settings” on page 5.
My wireless device does not establish a wireless connection to the
access point after I changed the settings
In the configuration utility for your wireless device:
1. Ensure that you are connecting to the Wireless MAXg Access Point by veri-
fying the WLAN MAC address.
2. Ensure that the same encryption options, and their passphrase or key, are
used on both the wireless device and the access point. If you change the set-
ting on the access point, you must also change the settings of every wireless
device that is intended to connect to the access point.
I cannot access the configuration pages
1. In your Web browser, make sure that you are entering the correct IP address
for the access point. If you are using a Windows operating system, you can
find the IP address by running the Network Device Locator. To run the util-
ity:
Windows Vista or XP: click Windows Start > All Programs > USRobotics
Network Device Locator and click Next.
Windows 2000: click Windows Start > Programs > USRobotics Network
Device Locator and click Next.
2. If you are trying to access the configuration pages wirelessly, try to access
them with a wired connection as follows:
A. Using a computer connected by Ethernet cable to the same networking
device as the access point, start a Web browser.
B. Enter the IP address of the access point and press enter.
If you can access the configuration pages with a wired connection, you
are experiencing a wireless connectivity issue. See step 5 under “General”
on page 10.
