Welcome to ResNet Platinum!

ResNet Platinum is your complete wireless solution. Whether you
want to connect your laptop, games console, netbook or tablet,
ResNet Platinum can cope – wirelessly!

Once you have collected your ResNet Wi-Fi Kit, and are ready to start
using it for the first time, all the information, and step-by-step
instructions you will need are here.

This guide also includes the Acceptable Use Policy for the ResNet – please take

a moment to read these.

Getting started

Once you have collected your ResNet Platinum Wi-Fi Kit will have the following parts:

ResNet Access Point – The wireless hub that all your devices connect to, pre-configured to work

with ResNet.

Power Adapter – This powers the device.
Ethernet Cable – The Ethernet cable can be used to connect your Access Point to the ResNet

Network.

Your access point is yours when you leave. When you complete your course and wish to reset your

access point to use outside of ResNet you will need to refer to the TP-Link website www.tp-link.com.
You will need to click on support followed by downloads and then select your product (TL-WR720N)
from the list provided. The website has all the information, help, documentation and the software
you need for using your device as an ordinary wireless access point when you leave.

Setting up your ResNet Access Point

Your ResNet Platinum Wi-Fi Access Point is very easy to set-up and use.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the blue port labelled WAN on the Access Point
and connect the other end to the network point on the wall. Both ends should slide into
place with a click.

2. Connect the Power cable

Connect the lead from the power adaptor to the Access Point and then plug the power
adaptor in to the socket on the wall.

3. Wait for the Green light to appear

A green LED will start flashing on the Access point as it starts-up and connects to ResNet.

After 1 minute, your ResNet Access Point will be ready for use.

Remember! To reboot your device turn the power off from

the socket and then switch it back on. Do NOT press the reset
button (circled in red) as this will stop your device working on
ResNet.
