CHAPTER 1

Introduction

1.1 Overview

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the EMG6765-Q10A.

The EMG6765-Q10A extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11a/ac/b/g/n compatible devices.

The EMG6765-Q10A is a dual-band AP and able to function both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.

Figure 1 Dual-Band Application

A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. There is one USB 2.0 port on the side panel of your EMG6765-Q10A, and the other one is on the rear panel of your EMG6765-Q10A. You can connect USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The EMG6765-Q10A automatically detects the USB devices.

Make sure the USB LED is off before removing your USB device. This will remove your USB device safely, preventing file or data loss if it is being transmitted through the USB device.

EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide

12

Chapter 1 Introduction

Note: For the USB function, it is strongly recommended to use version 2.0 or lower USB storage devices (such as memory sticks, USB hard drives) and/or USB devices. Other USB products are not guaranteed to function properly with the EMG6765-Q10A.

The EMG6765-Q10A also comes with one coaxial port that supports MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) technology. Use MoCA technology to extend your network through a coaxial connection to another MoCA device and/or a device connected to a MoCA adapter.

Use a (supported) web browser to manage the EMG6765-Q10A.

1.2 Applications

You can have the following networks with the EMG6765-Q10A:

•Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the EMG6765-Q10A so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.

•Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the EMG6765-Q10A to access network resources. You can use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to create an instant network connection with another WPScompatible device.

•WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.

Figure 2 EMG6765-Q10A Networks

1.3 Ways to Manage the EMG6765-Q10A

Use any of the following methods to manage the EMG6765-Q10A.

•WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your EMG6765-Q10A.

•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the EMG6765-Q10A using a (supported) web browser.

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the EMG6765-Q10A

Do the following things regularly to make the EMG6765-Q10A more secure and to manage the EMG6765-Q10A more effectively.

•Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

•Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

•Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the EMG6765-Q10A to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the EMG6765-Q10A. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.5Resetting the EMG6765-Q10A

If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the EMG6765-Q10A to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the user name will be reset to “admin”, the password will be reset to the back-label default key, and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1” (router mode).

1.5.1 RESET Button

1Make sure the power LED is on.

2Press and hold the RESET button for more than 5 seconds, the power LED begins flashing.

3Release the RESET button. The EMG6765-Q10A reloads factory-default settings and begins to reboot.

1.5.2The WPS Button

Your EMG6765-Q10A supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) on each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

You can use the WPS button ( ) on the side panel of the EMG6765-Q10A to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.

1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).

Chapter 1 Introduction

2Press the WPS button for more than one second and release it. Press the WPS button on another WPSenabled device within range of the EMG6765-Q10A.

Note: You must activate WPS on the EMG6765-Q10A and on another wireless device within two minutes of each other.

For more information on using WPS, see Section 6.8 on page 48.
