Chapter 2 Hardware Install
2.1 Hardware Install
Before you start configuring the device, follow below steps to install device.
For extended wireless coverage, use an external omni-directional antenna
and place device in the center of the area for better performance; to
implement long range P2P or P2MP wireless bridge, use the internal
directional antenna and position device properly for better performance.
2.1.1 Connect device to a power source
The device comes with a PoE injector. Please use it to power the device.
2.1.2 Network Connection
10
Wireless N150 Outdoor Long Range AP/Router
1. Connect the LAN/WAN/POE port on device to the PoE port on the injector
using an Ethernet cable.
2. Connect PC to injector's LAN port using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly to
the device via the SSID (The default SSID can be found on the label on the
back of the device and is not encrypted by default).
Note:
Device operates in AP mode by default. So you need to manually configure
a static IP address for your PC. AP's LAN IP address is preset to 192.168.2.1
by default.So your PC's IP address should be 192.168.2.X (where X is any
number between 2~254). For IP address configuration, see Appendix 1.
3. Use the Ping command to check the connectivity between your device and
PC. Click Start -> Run, enter cmd and press Enter or click OK to enter
interface below.
11

4. Input ping 192.168.2.1 and press Enter.
If you get a screen as shown in the screenshot above, your PC and device are
interconnected.
12
Wireless N150 Outdoor Long Range AP/Router
If you get a screen as shown in the screenshot above, your PC and device are
not interconnected. Please follow below steps to troubleshoot the problem.
1) Verify Ethernet cable connection
The LAN LED on the device and PC's adapter LED should be on.
2) Verify TCP/IP settings on your PC
To access device web utility while operating in AP mode or universal repeater
mode, manually configure a static IP address for the PC. Just note that the IP
address you configure must be on the same net segment as device LAN IP
address. While in router mode, you can either manually specify an IP address
for the PC or set it to Obtain an IP address automatically.
2.2 Quick Setup
The device is configurable and manageable through a web browser. Launch a
web browser, in the address bar, input 192.168.2.1 and press Enter. Enter
admin in both User Name and Password fields (Both default user name
and password are admin).

Click Login on the login window, and then click Quick Setup. Select a
proper mode for device to operate on from AP Mode, Router Mode and
Universal Repeater Mode.
Operating Mode Overview:
AP Mode: In this mode, the device converts the wired signal into
wireless signals, extending existing network coverage. It works as
a central access point for multiple wireless clients (generally,
wireless adapters) concurrently.
Router Mode: Operating in this mode, device functions as a
regular wireless router. It supports PPPoE, dynamic IP (DHCP) ,
PPTP, L2TP and static IP Internet connection types and provide
DHCP server feature that dynamically assigns IP addresses to
DHCP-client-capable PCs for Internet connection sharing.
Wireless WAN (WISP) and WDS features are available in this
mode.
Universal Repeater Mode（Client+AP）: Device wirelessly
bridges an uplink device to repeat wireless and extend coverage.

2.2.1 AP Mode
See below for the typical network topology. Position device properly
according to practical network environment.
1. Connect the LAN/WAN/POE port on device to the POE port on the
injector.
2. Connect the LAN port on the PoE injector to an uplink switch or
router.
3. All PCs in the range will then be able to connect to this SSID
wirelessly for Internet access.
Device operates in AP mode by default, so simply follow the topology
above to establish th network. To configure other features like wireless,
simply access the device web management utility. For details, see Chapter

1. Select Router Mode, click Next and then configure basic wireless settings
including SSID, channel and security.
SSID: A SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the public name of a
wireless network.
Channel: For an optimal wireless performance, you may select
the least interferential channel. It is advisable that you select an
unused channel or Auto to let device detect and select the best
possible channel for your wireless network to operate on from the
drop-down list. The default is Auto.
Security Mode (Encryption Algorithm): Select a proper
encryption algorithm: WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK.
