•Belkin 54g Wireless Network Access Point

•Vertical Mounting Base (optional use)

•Power Supply

1.Select a suitable place for your WAP.

2.Connect a CAT5 cable between the WAP and your cable/DSL WAP’s LAN port, Ethernet switch, or hub by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ45 jack on the WAP and the other end into an open RJ45 jack on the cable/DSL WAP, Ethernet switch, or hub.

3.Connect the power supply to the WAP by plugging the round DC connector into the DC jack on the WAP. Plug the power supply into the wall. Verify that the Power LED and the LAN LED are illuminated. If both LEDs are illuminated, this indicates that the WAP is connected properly.

4.Place the WAP on a desktop or mount it to a wall in the location that you have chosen. Next, swivel the antennas so they are both pointing up.

5.Connection and placement of your WAP is now complete. Go to the “Configuring the WAP” section to learn how to configure the WAP.
