GUIDE

Introduction

This Quick Installation Guide will help you to quickly and easily install your
Wireless Extender devices by performing the few simple steps described
below. Before you begin, check that you have:

• One WAP-5836 Wireless Extender

• One CAT5 Ethernet Cable

• One Power Adapter

• One Quick Installation Guide

Easy Installation

Step 1 - Power connection

Plug in the power adapter included in your package, and connect it to the
WAP-5836 device.

1

Using a power supply with different voltage rating than the one
included with the WAP-5836 device may cause damage and
void the warranty for this product.

Step 2 - Placement and connections

A. Setting an AP device

1. Place one WAP-5836 device on an easily accessible surface near the
Home Gateway or Router. Make sure the GW or Router is powered on and
active.

2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the Home Gateway
device and the other end into the Ethernet port of the WAP-5836.

3. Ensure that the DHCP
Server functionality on your
Home Gateway or Router is
enabled. The WAP-5836
device that gets a DHCP IP
Address will be automatically
set in Access Point (AP)
mode for a simplified setup
process.

2

Make sure that the LED on the WAP-5836
is flashing blue.

B. Setting a Client device

1. Place another WAP-5836 device on an easily accessible surface near the
set top box. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the Set
Top Box and the other end into the Ethernet port of the WAP-5836.

2. Since the STB will not issue an IP address to the WAP-5836, it will
automatically be set to Client mode.

Make sure that the LED on the WAP-5836
Client is flashing blue. For best wireless performance,
place the devices on a shelf or other elevated
location and away from large metallic objects.
