CHAPTER 3 INSTALLING THE EZ-STREAM WIRELESS ROUTER

Before installing the EZ-Stream Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents” on page 2. If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local SMC distributor. Also be sure that you have all the necessary cabling before installing the Router. After installing the Router, refer to the web-based configuration program in “Configuring the EZ-Stream Wireless Router” on page 25 for information on configuring the Router.

The Router can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the following guidelines:

Keep the Router away from any heating devices.

Do not place the Router in a dusty or wet environment.

You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the Router.

3.0 Basic Installation Procedure

1.Connect the WAN: Connect an Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL modem to the WAN port on the back on the Router.

2.Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Router to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device.

You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the back of the Router into the desired positions. For more effective coverage, position the antennas along different axes. For example, try positioning the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees apart. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along different axes.)
