The WR2100 Unit 2. Quick Installation Guide ii 1 Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides details of the WR2100's features, components and capabilities. Overview This WR2100 is designed to enhance the connectivity between the Wireless Access Point and wireless client device (ex. IP camera) while increasing the coverage of the existing wireless network. With its easy setup operation, this high-speed 802.11n device works seamlessly with most routers and access points. Features Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration. Wireless Features Supports 11n Wireless Stations: The 802.11n standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations can be used simultaneously. WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any device to the wireless network by using the press button configuration on the device. Security Support: Full WEP (64/128 Bit), WPA and WPA2 Personal standards are supported on the wireless interface, allowing advanced encryption of wireless data. 2 Chapter 2 Basic Setup This Chapter provides details on how to setup the WR2100. System Requirement To use the wireless interface on the wireless model, other wireless devices must be compliant with the IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g or IEEE 802.11n specifications. All wireless stations must use compatible settings. Physical Details Front Panel Figure 1: Front Panel 1. Power LED (Green/Amber) On (Green) - Power on. Off - No power.

Ethernet LED (Green) Off - LAN is not connected. Blinking (Green) - Data is being transmitted or received via the LAN connection. Side Panel Figure 2: Side Panel 1. LAN port 2. Use a standard LAN cable to connect your WR2100 to a PC. Press this button to turn on/off the WR2100. Power On/Off Switch 3. WPS Button 4. Reset Button Press the WPS button on the device and on your other wireless device to perform WPS function that easily creates an encryption-secured wireless connection automatically. AP Connection. When pressed and held over 3 seconds, the WR2100 will perform WPS function with the AP. Client Connection. When pressed and released (less then 3 seconds), the WR2100 will perform WPS function with the client devices. This button is recessed; A pin or paper clip can be used to depress it. It can be activated at any time the WR2100 is in the "ready" mode. Reset to manufacturer default values and reboot. When pressed and held over 10 seconds, the settings of the WR2100 will be set to their default values. Setup the WR2100 The installation allows the WR2100 to directly connect to a wireless router (or Wireless Access Point). You can extend the range of your wireless network, or to add an extension of your network without running cables. Configured without a PC - Using WPS Step 1: Locate the WR2100 near the Wireless Access Point while doing the configuration. Step 2: Make sure the Wireless Access Point is on and working properly. Step 3: Plug the WR2100 into the power outlet and press the Power button to power it on. Step 4: Wait for the Power LED to remain on, the WR2100 is now ready for use. Step 5: Press the WPS button on the Wireless Access Point and make sure the Wireless Access Point is in WPS mode. (The LED on the AP will blink and active for 2 minutes.) Step 6: Press and hold the WPS button on the WR2100 for more than 3 seconds. The WPS LED on the device will start blinking for 2 minutes. The WR2100 will automatically associate to the Wireless Access Point with the strongest signal and make connection. Make sure to press the button within 120 seconds (2 minutes) after pressing the Wireless Access Point WPS button. Step 7: The connection of the WR2100 and Wireless Access Point is successfully established after the LED remains on. Locate the WR2100 in another place for better wireless reception and performance If the signal strength is weak (the color is red). Step 8: Now you can select a suitable location for the WR2100. It's preferable to place the device near the center of your wireless coverage area. Check the LED color and make sure it’s not red. Step 9: Power on the client device (ex. IP Camera) and make sure it is in wireless mode. Step 10: Press the WPS button (less than 3 seconds) of the WR2100. The WPS LED will start blinking for 2 minutes. Then press the WPS button on the client device. Make sure to press the button within 120 seconds (2 minutes) after pressing the WR2100 WPS button. Step 11: Wait for the WPS LEDs to be solid on both WR2100 and the client device. Check the LED color again. Step 12: Now the client device can access to the wireless network. Configured with a PC Step 1: Make sure the Wireless Access Point is on and working properly. Step 2: Plug the WR2100 into the power outlet and press the Power button to power it on. Step 3: Wait for the Power LED to remain on; the WR2100 is now ready for use. Step 4: Connect the Ethernet cable to the WR2100 and the PC. Step 5: Launch the browser and enter http://www.mywifirepeater.net/ in the Address box. Step 6: You will then be prompted for a username and password. If using the default values, enter admin for the username, and password for the password. Step 7: Choose the Wireless page and click “Site Survey” button. The WR2100 will start to search the existing wireless network. Step 8: Select the desired SSID that you want to connect to. Click Next. Step 9: The Security Settings screen will be prompted automatically if the security is on. Enter the required encryption keys. Click Save. Step 10: The connection of the WR2100 and Wireless Access Point is successfully established after the LED remains on. Locate the WR2100 in another place for better wireless reception and performance If the signal strength is weak (the color is red). Step 11: Configure the client device (Ex. IP Camera) with the same SSID and encryption keys. Step 12: The connection is successfully established after the LED remains on. Check the LED color. If it is red, then the device needs to be relocated. Step 13: Now the client device can access to the wireless network.
