1. Before you start

• Carefully read the Safety Instructions and Regulatory Notices document

included in your package before continuing with the installation of your OWA0130.

• Do not make any connections until instructed to do so!

2. Check the content of your box

Your package contains the following items:

3. About the OWA0130

3.1. Wi‑Fi

The OWA0130 is equipped with:

• 5GHz IEEE802.11ac Wi-Fi which enables superior transfer rates and is less sensitive to interference.

• 2.4GHz IEEE802.11n Wi-Fi which allows you to connect Wi-Fi devices that don’t support the 5GHz Wi-Fi.

Tips

B C D E F

To achieve optimal link quality:

• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your Wi-Fi devices to a minimum.

• Do not place your Wi-Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause interfence (mricrowave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).

• Use Wi-Fi devices that support 5GHz Wi-Fi.

3.2. Top panel

Status LEDs (item A)

If your Wi-Fi device:

• Supports WPS, use WPS to pair it with the OWA0130. For more information, see

“5.3. Pairing your Wi‑Fi devices to the OWA0130” on page8.

• Does not support WPS, conﬁgure it with the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and wireless key that are printed on the product label on the back of the OWA0130. For more information, consult the user documentation of your device.

Step 3: Connect an Ethernet device (optional)

You can use the OWA0130’s other Ethernet port to connect an Ethernet device (for example, a NAS drive or computer) to your home network.

4.2. Wi‑Fi Repeater setup

This scenario allows you to extend Wi-Fi coverage in your home by retransmitting Wi-Fi messages from your existing Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi

OWA0130

Requirements

Your Intenet gateway must have 5GHz Wi-Fi either built-in or via a separate OWA0130 extender.

Step 1: Set up the repeater

1 Take an OWA0130 and make sure that the mode selector on the back is switched

to Auto.

2 Position your OWA0130 half-way between your Internet gateway (or extender)

and your Wi-Fi devices.

3 Take the power supply, plug the small end into the power inlet port (

Step 2: Connect your Wi‑Fi devices

Because the OWA0130 now uses the same Wi-Fi settings as the access point, Wi-Fi devices that were already connected to your home network will also be able to connect to the OWA0130, and vice versa.

Step 3: Connect your Ethernet devices (optional)

You can use the OWA0130’s Ethernet ports to connect Ethernet devices (for example, a NAS drive or computer) to your home network.

4.3. Video bridge setup

This scenario allows you to set up a high-speed Wi-Fi link capable of transmitting multiple HD video streams between your Internet gateway and your set-top box (or other Wi-Fi devices, for example an IP camera).

5. Tips and tricks

5.1. Making a wired connection between the OWA0130 and your Internet gateway

1 Take the included Ethernet cable (this is the cable with the yellow connectors). 2 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports on the

back of your OWA0130.

3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a Ethernet or LAN port of your

Internet gateway.

5.2. Pairing the OWA0130 with your Internet gateway

5.4. What to do when the WPS LED is blinking red?

This indicates that the OWA0130 could not make a Wi-Fi connection. Do the following:

1 Wait until the red blinking LED goes out, then try using WPS again. 2 Turn your OWA0130 slightly and then try again. 3 Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of

walls between the two devices and then try again.

4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.

5.5. Optimizing the link quality

If the OWA0130 has a Wi-Fi connection to an Internet gateway, extender or repeater, the Link Quality ( ) LED will provide information about the quality of the link between them.

If the Link Quality (

• Green: the link quality is optimal. No further actions are needed.

• Orange: the link quality is average. Change the position of the OWA0130 until the LED turns green.

• Red: the link quality is bad. Change the position of the OWA0130 until the LED turns green or at least orange.

Repositioning the OWA0130 for better link quality

First try to improve the link quality without unplugging the power supply: 1 Reposition the OWA0130 to avoid obstacles, like walls, furniture and TV screens,

between the OWA0130 and your access point.

2 Wait 15seconds to allow the OWA0130 to re-evaluate the link quality. If the link quality did not improve: 1 Unplug the power supply and move the OWA0130 closer to your access point

and/or with less obstacles between the OWA0130 and your access point.

2 Plug in the power supply and wait two minutes to allow the OWA0130 to start up

all services and evaluate the link quality.
