Installing the Wireless Router

2.Connect power to the Wireless Mobile Router as follows:

Mobile - connect one end of the USB power cable (provided) to the Router power connector. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the notebook computer being used, or to the

TravelPower® Adapter (if using APC’s TravelPower Case).

Home Office/Small Business - connect the AC power adapter (provided) to the Wireless Mobile Router. Connect the AC power adapter to an AC power source (wall outlet, APC surge protector, DC/AC inverter, etc).

Rotate both antennas on the side of the Wireless Mobile Router to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position antennas along different axes; for example around 45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the Wireless Mobile Router in a position that is located in the center of the wireless network. Normally, the higher the antenna is placed, the better the performance. Ensure the Wireless Mobile Router location provides optimal reception throughout the home or office.

Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless Mobile Router can provide access to the wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure or over the Internet via the Wireless Mobile Router.

The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless Mobile Router.

Ensure that the clients are configured to the same SSID (default: APC), and that encryption and wireless communication are configured.

For additional information about SSID and encryption, refer to the “Advanced Setup” section in this manual.
