4 II. Installation There are two ways to setup the wireless bridge. Please follow the appropriate instructions. II-1. iQ Setup 1. Plug the power adapter into the device’s 5V power port, plug the adapter into a wall socket or available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. The CV-7438nDM may take several minutes to boot up – the device is ready when the LED is flashing (red). The CV-7438nDM requires 1 A of current – please ensure that your USB port can provide sufficient power. If not, use the 5V DC adapter.
5 2. Use a Wi-Fi device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) to search for a Wi-Fi network with the SSID “Edimaxcv.Setup” and connect to it. 3. Open a web browser and enter the URL http://edimaxcv.setup and you will see the following screen. Please click “Get Started”. If you can’t access http://edimaxcv.setup please make sure your wireless device/computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. For more information, refer to the user manual. You can also use the wireless bridge’s default IP address http://192.168.9.2 You can change the language using the drop down menu in the top right corner.
6 4. iQ Setup will display all available 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. Click the icons to display the next or previous page as desired. Select a network for the wireless bridge to connect to and click “Next”. If the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to does not appear, try clicking “Refresh”. If you use a hidden network, to connect to a hidden SSID, check the “Connect to a hidden network manually” box and enter the SSID and security key information.
7 5. Please wait while the wireless bridge tests the connection. 6. When the connection test is complete, you will see the following screen. Check the details of your connection and click “Apply” to restart the CV-7438nDM and continue. If the wireless bridge cannot obtain an IP address from the router/access point then click the “Static IP” button to assign an IP address to the wireless bridge and then click “APPLY”. Please refer to the user manual for more guidance.
8 7. A congratulations screen will confirm your wireless bridge has established a connection. If you do not see the congratulations screen shown above, check the LED: if the LED displays on (white) then the wireless bridge has successfully established a connection. Continue to III. Using the CV-7438nDM. When the Wi-Fi bridge’s LED displays on (white), the wireless bridge is now ready for use with audio speakers or Ethernet devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes or game consoles. Please see III. Using the CV-7438nDM. II-2. WPS Setup WPS setup is an alternative to II-1. iQ Setup. If you already completed iQ Setup, please continue to III. Using the CV-7438nDM. The WPS button is a quick and easy method to establish a secure connection between your wireless bridge and wireless router/access point. The wireless bridge can connect to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi networks via WPS, depending on which frequency’s WPS is active on your wireless router/access point. 1. Plug the power adapter into the device’s 5V power port, plug the adapter into a wall socket or available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. The CV-7438nDM may take several minutes to boot up – the device is ready when the LED is flashing (red). The CV-7438nDM requires 1 A of current – please ensure that your USB port can provide sufficient power. If not, use the 5V DC adapter.
9 2. Press and hold the WPS button on your wireless router/access point for the correct length of time to activate its WPS. Please check the instructions for your wireless router/access point to confirm how long you need to hold down its WPS button to activate WPS for 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Some brands of router/access point may not support WPS for 5GHz – in this case, please refer to II-1. iQ Setup instead. 3. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the CV-7438nDM for 2 seconds to activate the WPS function. The LED should flash (white) to indicate that WPS is in progress. 4. The devices will establish a connection. When a connection is successful, the bridge’s LED will display on (white). If a connection is not successful, the LED will flash (red) – in this case please return to II-2. WPS Setup Step 1.
10 Your wireless bridge is now ready for use with audio speakers or Ethernet devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes or game consoles. Please see III. Using the CV-7438nDM.
11 III. Using the CV-7438nDM Once your CV-7438nDM has established a connection with your wireless router/access point as described in II. Installation, you can connect the wireless bridge to any Ethernet device or audio speakers for wireless connectivity. III-1. Ethernet To “bridge” any Ethernet device to your Wi-Fi network, follow the instructions below. 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Wi-Fi bridge to the Ethernet port on your network device. You can use either of the Wi-Fi bridge’s Ethernet ports (10/100 or 10/100/1000) depending on your requirements.
12 2. Connect the CV-7438nDM’s power supply to a wall socket or an available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. Ensure the LED is on (white). The CV-7438nDM requires 1 A of current – please ensure that your USB port can provide sufficient power. If not, use the 5V DC adapter. 3. Switch on your network device and connect to your network as usual for a wired Ethernet connection.
13 III-2. Audio Speakers You can use the wireless bridge to “bridge” any audio speakers to your Wi-Fi network via a 3.5mm audio jack. III-2-1. Connecting to your speakers 1. Use an audio cable (not included) to connect the Wi-Fi bridge’s 3.5mm audio jack to the “audio in” port of your speakers. 2. Connect the CV-7438nDM’s power supply to a wall socket or an available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. Ensure the LED is on (white). III-2-2. Music Streaming After the wireless bridge is correctly connected to your speakers, you can stream music to your speakers wirelessly. Follow the appropriate instructions below for iTunes or other users. Ensure that your music player (e.g. PC, tablet or smartphone) is connected to the same router as your CV-7438nDM.
14 III-2-2-1. iTunes & iOS 1. Click the AirPlay icon in iTunes. 2. Select the CV-7438nDM from the list of available AirPlay devices. 3. Play music as usual and it should stream to your speakers wirelessly.
15 III-2-2-2. Other For other users (Android, PC) a 3rd party app is necessary to facilitate AirPlay streaming. Apps such as Twonky Beam for Android offer AirPlay streaming functionality and can be downloaded from Google Play. An example of AirPlay streaming using Twonky Beam is shown below: Twonky Beam requires Android OS 4.0 or above device. 1. Wait for the icon in the top right corner to light up and then tap it. Depending on your Internet connection, the icon may take several minutes to light up.
16 2. On the next screen, select “This Device” and then select “Music”. 3. Select a track and then swipe the screen right to left.
17 4. You should see the CV-7438nDM listed as a “Display Device” amongst any other wireless displays or speakers connected to your network. Select the CV-7438nDM as the “Display Device”. 5. Your music should stream wirelessly to the speakers connected to the CV-7438nDM.
18 III-3. Reset If you experience problems with your wireless bridge, you can reset the device back to its factory settings. This resets all settings back to default. 1. Press and hold the WPS/Reset button found on the back panel for at least 10 seconds. 2. Release the button when the LED displays on (red). 3. Wait for the wireless bridge to restart. The wireless bridge is ready for setup when the LED is flashing (red).
