Overview
The NWA570N lets you:
• Set up a high speed wireless network compatible with either IEEE 802.1b, IEEE 802.1g, or
Draft 2.0 IEEE 802.1n.
• Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect to other WPS-enabled products in a few
steps. WPS allows you to set up a secure wireless network at the press of a button.
• Secure your wireless network with a wide range of encryption standards.
• Enlarge the area of your existing wired and wireless network.
This Quick Start Guide shows you how to do the following with your NWA570N:
1Connect Your Hardware: page 3
2Set up Your Wireless Network with WPS: page 4
3Set up Your Wireless Network Using the Wizard: page 7
4Connect Wireless Devices to the NWA570N: page 10
To access the Internet through your NWA570N, you should already have a connection set
up on your home network. The NWA570N simply extends your existing connection.
See the User’s Guide on the included CD for details on all of the NWA570N’s features.

The LEDs
Look at the LEDs (lights). When you connect the power, the power ( ) LED blinks and stays
on once the device is ready. The LAN ( ) and WLAN ( ) LEDs turn on if the
corresponding connections are properly made.
VIf the power ( ), LAN ( ) or WLAN ( ) LEDs do not turn on, check your
connections. If this doesn’t help, disconnect the NWA570N from its power
source, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on.
2 Set up Your Wireless Network with WPS
You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to add wireless devices to your wireless
network. The other wireless devices must also support WPS.
"Go to Section 3if you do not want to use WPS to set up your network.
1Place a WPS-enabled device within range of the NWA570N.
2Press the WPS button on both devices. It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first.
You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
"Your NWA570N has a WPS button located on its casing, as well as a WPS
button available in the web configurator used to manage the NWA570N. Other
WPS-enabled devices should have at least one similar WPS button.
