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
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
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
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
Chapter 1 Introduction
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.
EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide

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.
1.5 Resetting 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
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press and hold the RESET button for more than 5 seconds, the power LED begins flashing.
3 Release the RESET button. The EMG6765-Q10A reloads factory-default settings and begins to reboot.
1.5.2 The 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).

enabled 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.

1 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full
depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave
a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all
the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

5.3.1 Setting your EMG6765-Q10A to AP Mode
1 Log into the Web Configurator if you haven’t already. See the Quick start Guide for instructions on how
to do this.
2 To use your EMG6765-Q10A as an access point, go to Maintenance > Sys OP Mode and select Access
Point Mode.
Figure 11 Changing to Access Point mode
Note: You have to log in to the Web Configurator again when you change modes. As soon as
you do, your EMG6765-Q10A is already in Access Point mode.
3 When you select Access Point Mode, the following pop-up message window appears.
Figure 12 Pop up for Access Point mode
Click OK. Then click Apply. The Web Configurator refreshes once the change to Access Point mode is
successful.
5.3.2 Accessing the Web Configurator in Access Point Mode
Log in to the Web Configurator in Access Point mode, do the following:
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the EMG6765-Q10A.
2 The default IP address of the EMG6765-Q10A is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your computer must have an
IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and “192.168.1.254”.
3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box. Enter “ipconfig” to show
your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP address is not in the correct range then see Appendix
B on page 200 for information on changing your computer’s IP address.
4 After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type
“192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.
