Getting Started

AP (Bridge) mode - With an EXISTING ROUTER or MODEM with a built-in ROUTER

If you install the base unit with your existing router or modem with a built-in router, the base unit should be set to AP (Bridge) mode. Select [AP (Bridge)] for your connection mode in Initialization Setup (page 36). In AP (Bridge) mode, the base unit connects wireless devices to one another and to the LAN, and allows wireless devices to use a DHCP server on the LAN. In most cases, routers are equipped with the function as the DHCP server.

1 Switch the Mode selector to “HOME”.

2 Turn off your computer properly. Unplug any cable connecting your existing router (or modem with a built-in router) to your computer. However, your existing router (or modem with a built-in router) needs to remain connected to your cable or DSL modem.

3 Make sure the base unit is left unplugged. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the “WAN” port on the base unit and an unused Ethernet (LAN) port on your existing router (or modem with a built-in router).
