Step 2 - Placement and connectionsA. Setting an AP device Using a power supply with different voltage rating than the one included with the WAP-5836 device may cause damage and void the warranty for this product. 1. Place one WAP-5836 device on an easily accessible surface near the Home Gateway or Router. Make sure the GW or Router is powered on and active. 2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the Home Gateway device and the other end into the Ethernet port of the WAP-5836. 3. Ensure that the DHCP Server functionality on your Home Gateway or Router is enabled. The WAP-5836 device that gets a DHCP IP Address will be automatically set in Access Point (AP) mode for a simplified setup process. 2
B. Setting a Client deviceMake sure that the LED on the WAP-5836 is flashing blue. 1. Place another WAP-5836 device on an easily accessible surface near the set top box. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the Set Top Box and the other end into the Ethernet port of the WAP-5836. 2. Since the STB will not issue an IP address to the WAP-5836, it will automatically be set to Client mode. Make sure that the LED on the WAP-5836 Client is flashing blue. For best wireless performance, place the devices on a shelf or other elevated location and away from large metallic objects. 3
Pairing Step 1. Pair the devices:For initial pairing, it is recommended that you place the WAP-5836 AP and Client devices within the same room. Once paired, they can then be put in their desired locations. Press the WPS button on the “AP” front panel for 3-5 seconds and release it. The LED will begin flashing blue. Press the WPS button on the “Client” for 3-5 seconds and release it. The LED will begin flashing blue. WPSWPSNOTE – The WPS buttons can be pressed in any order as long asthey are pressed within 2 minutes of each other. Step 2. Wait for the pairing process to complete by watching the LEDs on the devices: • The LEDs will flash blue for a few seconds after pressing the WPS button for both AP & Client. • The LEDs will change to solid blue after successful pairing and turn off two minutes later. • The Wireless LEDs will then be solid blue. • The Client wireless LED could be solid amber when the association is not able to receive a high quality HD stream. If pairing is unsuccessful: • The LEDs will flash blue for two minutes and then turn off. WPSWPSWirelessWPS Button4

Step 1.Step 2.Note: • If you are connecting to the WAP-5836 directly from a PC, be sure to set a static IP in the same range as the AP or Client unit (e.g. 10.0.0.25) to access the Web Configuration page. • If the WAP-5836 is connected to a Gateway or Router that has a DHCP server, it will automatically get an IP address from that device. Be sure to check your Gateway or Router to see what IP address was given to the WAP-5836 units and use that to log in to the Web Configuration page. Log into the WAP-5836 web GUI through a browser such as IE with either the IP address the device was given by your DHCP server, or the default IP address of 10.0.0.10 for devices that have yet to be paired.
