To turn on the Wi-Fi Enabler:

The Enabler will turn on automatically when power is connected.

To check the RCA Wi-Fi Enabler's status by reading the LEDs (Lights):

•Normally the POWER, WAN and WIRELESS LEDs will be on when the enabler is operating as a router.

•The LAN LED will be on if there is an Ethernet cable connected from the LAN port on the Enabler to a computer.

•The MODE LED will be off when the Enabler is operating as a Router.

•The MODE LED will be on when the Enabler is operating as an (AP) Access Point.

To rescan the network configuration:

•Your Wi-Fi Enabler comes preconfigured from the factory so normally no rescan should be necessary.

•Press and hold the WPS key for 3 seconds. The MODE LED then starts blinking. This will indicate to the user that the unit is scanning the network to determine the correct mode for the new environment (i.e. either router or AP).

•If during a scanning, the unit cannot determine the mode or needs more information (i.e. no response from the WAN connection, PPPOE, fixed IP address connection, etc) the unit will start flashing the MODE, WPS and WIRELESS LEDs.

To reset the Enabler:

•If you are unable to connect the radio to the Wi-Fi enabler, press and hold the RESET for 10 seconds to reset the Wi-Fi enable back to factory defaults. After resetting the Wi-Fi enabler, try

connecting again.
