2.5Connecting the Device

Figure 2-3is an example of an infrastructure network incorporating the TL-WA5210G. An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router. To establish an infrastructure network in AP mode, please take the following steps:

1.You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office). Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

2.Connect the Cable or DSL modem to a Router. Quickly install the router.

3.Locate an optimum location for the AP. Choose an elevated location where trees, buildings and large steel structures will not obstruct the antenna signals and which offers maximum line
