II. Installation

There are two ways to setup the wireless bridge. Please follow the appropriate instructions.

II-1. iQ Setup

1. Plug the power adapter into the device’s 5V power port, plug the adapter

into a wall socket or available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. The CV-7438nDM may take several minutes to boot up – the device is ready when the LED is flashing (red).

The CV-7438nDM requires 1 A of current – please ensure that your USB port can provide sufficient power. If not, use the 5V DC adapter.

2. Use a Wi-Fi device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) to search for a

Wi-Fi network with the SSID “Edimaxcv.Setup” and connect to it.

3. Open a web browser and enter the URL http://edimaxcv.setup and you

will see the following screen. Please click “Get Started”.

If you can’t access http://edimaxcv.setup please make sure your

wireless device/computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. For more information, refer to the user manual. You can also use the

wireless bridge’s default IP address http://192.168.9.2

You can change the language using the drop down menu in the top right corner.

4. iQ Setup will display all available 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. Click

the icons to display the next or previous page as desired. Select a network for the wireless bridge to connect to and click “Next”.

If the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to does not appear, try clicking “Refresh”.

If you use a hidden network, to connect to a hidden SSID, check the “Connect to a hidden network manually” box and enter the SSID and security key information.

5. Please wait while the wireless bridge tests the connection.

6. When the connection test is complete, you will see the following screen.

Check the details of your connection and click “Apply” to restart the

CV-7438nDM and continue.

If the wireless bridge cannot obtain an IP address from the router/access point then click the “Static IP” button to assign an IP address to the wireless bridge and then click “APPLY”. Please refer to the user manual for more guidance.
