Site Location

Choose a location for your EZ Connect Wireless Ethernet Adapter. Usually, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, and if possible within line-of-sight of your main wireless broadcast device, such as an Access Point or a Wireless Router.

Connect the Ethernet Cable

The EZ Connect Wireless Ethernet Adapter can be connected to any device that has a standard Ethernet connection. Use a standard Category 5 UTP Crossover Ethernet cable with an RJ- 45 connector to connect the Wireless Ethernet Adapter to any Ethernet-enabled device.

Note: Do not connect this adapter directly to the LAN port of a router, such as the Barricade.

Connect the Power Cable

Connect the power adapter cable to the 5V DC power socket on the rear panel.

Warning: Use only the power adapter supplied with the SMC2670W. Using another power adapter will cause damage to the unit and void the warranty.
