N_One Wireless Broadband Router

For best Wireless reception and performance, the Wireless Broadband Router should be positioned in a central location with minimum obstructions between the Wireless Broad- band Router and the PCs.

Also, if using multiple Access Points, adjacent Access Points should use different Channels.

2. Connect LAN Cables

Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the Wire- less Broadband Router. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.

If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable. Any LAN port on the Wireless Broadband Router will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required.

3. Connect WAN Cable

Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the Wireless Broadband router. Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was sup- plied, use a standard cable.

4. Power Up

Connect the supplied power adapter to the Wireless Broadband Router. Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage.

5. Check the LEDs

The PWR LED should be ON.

For LAN (PC) connection, the LAN LED should be ON (provided the PC is also ON.)

The WLAN LED should be ON if wireless clients are connected.

The WAN LED should be ON if DSL or Cable modem is power ON.

The Net LED may be OFF. After Setup Wizard configuration, it should come ON.

For more information, refer to Front-mounted LEDs in Chapter 1.
