Chapter 2: Plan Your Wireless Network

Before you begin configuring your HWUR54G Wireless Range Extender, it is important that you determine where it fits within your wireless network. A wireless network consists of computers (Desktops or Laptops) with wireless network adapters installed. Computers within a wireless network are connected with a local wireless access point that handles all wireless communications between the computers and the internet.

The HWUR54G Wireless Range Extender must be placed within your wireless network. If it is placed too far from your wireless network it will not receive a strong enough signal to repeat properly. Ensure that the selected placement of the Wireless Range Extender is not too far from the original Access Point. (Indoor: approx 50 – 150 feet)

This diagram may help you determine how the Wireless Range Extender works within a wireless network.
