The mode switch can be set to:
•Auto. In Auto mode, the Wireless-N Bridge will automatically sense and set its own mode. It will run in AP mode if connected to a router or gateway. Otherwise, if connected to any other wired device(s), it will run in Bridge mode. (The Wireless-N Bridge is set to Auto mode from the factory.)
•AP. In AP (access point) mode, the Wireless-N Bridge will act as an access point. In this mode, the Wireless-N Bridge should be connected to a router.
•Bridge. In Bridge mode, the Wireless-N Bridge is connected to your other wired device(s) and will connect wirelessly to the Wireless-N Bridge being used as an access point.
2.Verify that:
•You are connecting Ethernet-enabled devices, such as a network-enabled game console (an XBox 360 or Sony PS3), a digital media player (an Apple TV or NETGEAR Digital Entertainer), an IPTV set-top box, or a laptop with an embedded Wireless-N adapter.

2.Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN port in the router or gateway (A) to either LAN port on one Wireless-N Bridge.
3.Place the other Wireless-N Bridge near the media player, game console, or set-top box (B), and connect it with an Ethernet cable.
