Resetting to factory default settings
Use the following procedure to reset the Access Point or Router Unit to their factory defaults. The procedure is the
same for both units and either can be reset independently.
• Wireless Unit • Router Unit
1 Turn on the unit(s).
2 To reset the Access Point, press and hold the Reset switch on the bottom of the
Wireless Unit for at least a second with a paper clip.
To reset the Router Unit, press and hold the Reset switch on the side of the Router Unit
for at least a second with a paper clip.
Note
Be careful not to press the Quick Setup swich by mistake when you reset the Wireless Unit.
3 When the Status indicator flashes, release the Reset switch.
The Wireless Unit or Router Unit restarts automatically with all settings returned to their factory
defaults.
Installation Precautions
Refer to the separate Quick Start Guide for information about connecting the Wireless Unit, Router Unit and AC
adapter, and how to turn them on.
Installation
Select a secure location for the Wireless Unit or Router Unit where it cannot drop or fall over.
Route the cable to the Wireless Unit to suit the installation location.
Installation examples
• Desktop installation
• Hanging
Wireless Unit Router Unit
Notes
• Do not install at an insecure location.
• Do not install at a location where the Wireless Unit or Router Unit could fall as a result of shock or vibration,
such as on the edge of a shelf.
• Do not install at a location where the Wireless Unit, Router Unit or cables could be accidentally bumped by a
person or other objects.
Connecting a computer with a LAN cable
To connect a device such as a desktop computer or hub, connect a LAN cable to a LAN connector of the Router
Unit.
z Hints
• Use a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.
• Connect the Wireless Unit to a Wireless Unit/LAN connector of the Router Unit.
• Make the following TCP/IP settings on the computer to be connected:
– IP Address setting: Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”
– DNS Configuration: With the Windows Me operating system, select “Disable DNS”.
With the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, select “Obtain DNS
server address automatically”.
Hanging the units
1 Locate the wall mounting holes.
• On the Wireless Unit • On the Router Unit
Note
Take care not to injure your fingers when removing and replacing the rear cover of the Wireless Unit.
z Hint
To replace the rear cover of the Wireless Unit, align the rails on the rear of the Wireless Unit with the grooves
in the rear cover, and slide it upwards.
2 Using screws or nails, hang the unit to a wall.

units: inches (mm)
The Wireless Unit and Router Unit do not come with any sort of fittings used in hanging them. Use
screws of sufficient strength to support them.
■ Recommended screws
• Roundhead screws
• Flathead screws

Notes
• Always use two screws or nails and make sure that the units are secure on the wall.
• Select a location that will hold the weight of the units when hanging them to a wall. If the location cannot
hold the weight of the units, they may fall and cause accidents.
• When hanging the units to walls made of plasterboard or other brittle material, make sure that the material
is strong enough to support the units’ weight and use special screw fasteners or other fixtures designed for
use with that material. If the units are hung with ordinary screws, they may fall.
• When hanging the units to a wall, be careful not to drop the units or the tools used for doing the work.
Dropping the units or tools could result in unforeseen accidents.
Precautions
AC adapter
Use only the supplied AC adapter and power cord. Other AC adapters may damage the Wireless Broadband Router.
Safety
Do not drop the Wireless Broadband Router. Careful handling helps to prevent damage.
Installation
Do not place the Wireless Broadband Router where it is exposed to the following conditions:
• Unstable surfaces
• High humidity or poor ventilation
• Excessive dust
• Direct sunlight or extreme heat
• Closed cars
• Magnetic fields (near magnets, speakers, or televisions)
• Frequent vibration
• Locations where the transmission of radio waves may be obstructed by metal plates or concrete walls
Operation
Exposure to rapid changes in temperature or very damp environments can cause condensation on internal parts. This
may prevent the Wireless Broadband Router from operating properly.
If this should happen, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and allow the Wireless Broadband Router to dry
for two to three hours.
Cleaning
Clean the casing with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. This may damage the finish of the casing.
Emergencies
In case of an emergency, stop the wireless functions by unplugging the power cord.
