Setting up Your AIRAVE™
1. Disconnect the power from all devices on your network.
Note: This includes your cable or DSL modem and router.
2. Place your AIRAVE close to a window and in a central location. For best results, place the
AIRAVE in an elevated location, such as the top of a bookshelf or tall cabinet.
Note: In large homes, the external GPS antenna can be used to allow the AIRAVE to be
placed in a more central location. This allows the AIRAVE to provide even coverage
throughout the home.
3. Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your broadband
modem.

4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your AIRAVE’s yellow WAN port.

continuing.
6. Plug the power supply connector into the black power port on your AIRAVE.
7. Plug the other end into an available electrical outlet.
