Installing the Access Point
Step One: Connect the Access Point
1. Look at the label on the bottom of the access point and note its LAN MAC address. You may need it to distinguish the access point from other devices on your network.
2. Connect the provided antennas to the back of the access point.
3. Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the access point to a LAN port on your networking device.
4. Supply power to the access point as follows:
Note to UK Users: With the power adapter unplugged, connect the appropriate power plug for your
country on to the power adapter. Apply enough pressure to cause a click and firmly seat the plug.

Using SecureEasySetup
SecureEasySetup™ makes it easy to connect wireless clients to the access point. SecureEasySetup automatically configures wireless security settings between the access point and your wireless clients.
*
Access Point or Repeater Mode
If your Wireless Nd1 Access Point Wireless Network Type is set to Access Point or Range Extender mode, SecureEasySetup transmits SecureEasySetup information, so your wireless clients can execute SecureEasySetup and get
the new Network Name (SSID), method type, encryption type, and pass phrase for your wireless network.
Note: While the access point is in SecureEasySetup configuration mode, you can only configure one
SecureEasySetup device at a time. Attempting to connect multiple devices may result in errors.
When the SecureEasySetup button on the access point is pressed for 1 second:
1. One of the following occurs:
If you do not have any wireless security settings applied to your access point, SecureEasySetup generates a
Network Name (SSID), sets WPA2 and WPA (PSK) wireless security with TKIP and AES encryption, and generates a pass phrase.
If you already have a Network Name (SSID), WPA2 and WPA (PSK) wireless security with TKIP and
AES encryption, and a pass phrase set on the access point, SecureEasySetup does not change any of these
settings.
If you have another wireless security method or encryption type set on the access point, SecureEasySetup
detects the Network Name (SSID) being used on the access point, then resets your method and encryption to WPA2 and WPA (PSK) wireless security with TKIP and AES encryption, and generates a pass phrase.

2. SecureEasySetup negotiates with an installed Nd1 or other certified SecureEasySetup wireless device in range that is in SecureEasySetup mode to pass the wireless security settings to the device.
Pressing the SecureEasySetup button on your access point for 7 seconds resets your wireless security settings to the factory default, None (no security enabled).
Connect a New Wireless Client Using SecureEasySetup
1. Press the SecureEasySetup button on the access point for 1 second. The SecureEasySetup LED will blink, indicating that it is ready to connect a SecureEasySetup device.
2. Press the SecureEasySetup button in the utility for your networking device or physically press the SecureEasySetup button on the networking device.
For wireless adapters, the wireless adapter utility will display a message when the connection has been successfully completed.
For networking devices with LEDs, the SecureEasySetup LED on the access point will stop blinking when the SecureEasySetup process has completed on the access point.
Bridge or Infrastructure Mode
If your Wireless Nd1 Access Point Wireless Network Type is set to Bridge or Infrastructure mode, SecureEasySetup establishes communication and negotiates security between the router or access point.
When the SecureEasySetup button on the access point is pressed for 1 second:
1. SecureEasySetup negotiates with an installed Nd
1
or other certified SecureEasySetup networking device in range
that is also in SecureEasySetup mode.
2. SecureEasySetup automatically configure the access point's wireless security settings and pass phrase for a connection to the wireless network.
