VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual iii
1
The VAP2400 enables you to transmit multiple standard- and high-definition video streams throughout your home
wirelessly. You can enjoy a full range of video services and applications without having to run wires, lay cables,
or drill holes. The VAP2400 uses one-button, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) technology to ensure easy, reliable
installation.
The VAP2400 operates via two (or more) integrated units. You’ll dedicate one unit as the Access Point and
the other unit (or units) as its Client. When you connect a VAP to your home gateway, it auto-configures as an
Access Point. The Access Point streams content to the Client, which you’ll connect to a secondary set-top in
a different location in your home. (The Client auto-configures as well when you connect it to the set-top.) The
following graphic illustrates this setup:
