If there is no security on the original network, this step will automatically be
skipped.

If you do not know the security
key of the network you are
connecting to, please consult

setup. The HWABN25 will automatically reboot and start repeating and extend­ing your wireless network.

renamed to your original wireless network, unless otherwise specified during the set up
process. If you wish to modify this name, please refer to the user’s manual.

DO NOT place the HWABN25 outside the range of your wireless source.

ACCESS POINT MODE

In the Access Point Mode, the HWABN25 broadcasts Wi-Fi Signal from a wired
Network (e.g. a wired router) and allows your Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect
wirelessly to your Network. Note: The HWABN25 must be plugged into the
router or network after setup.
