INSTALLATION AND OVERVIEW

The VAP2400 enables you to transmit multiple standardand 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:
