Familiarize yourself with the features of the Wireless-N Bridge. The mode switch can be set to:•Auto. In Auto mode, the Wireless-N Bridge will automatically sense and set its own mode. It will run in AP mode if connected to a router or gateway. Otherwise, if connected to any other wired device(s), it will run in Bridge mode. (The Wireless-N Bridge is set to Auto mode from the factory.)•AP. In AP (access point) mode, the Wireless-N Bridge will act as an access point. In this mode, the Wireless-N Bridge should be connected to a router. •Bridge. In Bridge mode, the Wireless-N Bridge is connected to your other wired device(s) and will connect wirelessly to the Wireless-N Bridge being used as an access point.2. Verify that:• You have Broadband Internet access through a powered-on router or gateway.DEFAULT ACCESSPower Ethernet ports Mode switch Power light on/off switchRear panelFront panelPower lightWPS button/light• You are connecting Ethernet-enabled devices, such as a network-enabled game console (an XBox 360 or Sony PS3), a digital media player (an Apple TV or NETGEAR Digital Entertainer), an IPTV set-top box, or a laptop with an embedded Wireless-N adapter. Setting Up the WNHDE111 HD/Gaming 5GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit For Gaming or Digital Media 1. Set the switch on the back of each Wireless-N Bridge to Auto mode.Caution: Do not plug in the power adapter before step 2.2. Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN port in the router or gateway (A) to either LAN port on one Wireless-N Bridge. 3. Place the other Wireless-N Bridge near the media player, game console, or set-top box (B), and connect it with an Ethernet cable.4. To complete installation, connect a power adapter to the Wireless-N Bridge(s). Allow a few minutes for your devices to connect to the Internet. If you are not connected, see “Troubleshooting” on page 2.Note: By following the steps in this installation with both Wireless-N Bridge units set to Auto mode, the Wireless-N Bridge connected to your router has set itself to AP mode, while the second Wireless-N Bridge is set to Bridge mode.ABDigital set-top boxNetwork TV viewer/DVRDMAGaming consoleWNHDE111Network storageRouter/gatewayDesktop PCInternetSetting Up One WNHDE111 5GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge1.

The power light should blink quickly in groups of 3 (if the power light is off, press the power light on/off switch on the back panel to turn it on).3. On the new Wireless-N Bridge, press the WPS button for 10 seconds (located on the front panel). Its WPS light should start to blink.4. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode. Its WPS light should start to blink.5. After 1-2 minutes the new Wireless-N Bridge in Bridge mode should be associated with the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode. The WPS light for the Bridge mode unit will turn off. On the AP mode unit, the WPS light will be on solid for about 6 minutes, then turn off. The power lights on both units will be steadily on.Configuring With the Smart WizardUse the NETGEAR Smart Wizard Configuration Assistant to change the IP address type (static or dynamic), set the wireless network SSID, set up wireless security, or view device status. By default, the IP address is assigned dynamically by the router. Without a router, the IP address of the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode will default to 192.168.0.240 and the IP address of the Wireless-N Bridge in bridge mode will default to 192.168.0.241. Configuring the Wireless-N Bridge to use a fixed or dynamic IP address lets you access the Wireless-N Bridge configuration from the Smart Wizard Configuration Assistant or a Web browser.1. Do one of the following:a. Connect via a wireless connection to the Wireless-N Bridge as described in “Setting Up One WNHDE111 5GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge” on page 1. b. Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to an Ethernet port on the Wireless-N Bridge that is in AP mode.2. Insert the Resource CD in your CD-ROM drive. If the program does not start automatically, double-click autorun.exe.3. Select Run the Configuration Assistant. Note: If the IP address of the PC that is running the Configuration Assistant does not match the IP network, the Configuration Assistant prompts you to change the IP address first. NETGEAR recommends that you change the IP address for the PC to match the IP network of the Wireless-N Bridge.For more information on configuring, refer to the WNHDE111 RangeMax Next Wireless-N HD Bridge Reference Manual. The CD provides a link to this manual or you can download it from http://netgear.com/support.TroubleshootingIf you have trouble setting up your WNHDE111 5GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridges, check the tips below.The Power light blinks quickly in groups of three.

See “To Add Another Wireless-N Bridge to a System with a Wireless-N Bridge in AP Mode” on page 1.The Power light blinks slowly (once every second). The firmware is corrupted. See the WNHDE111 RangeMax Next Wireless-N HD Bridge Reference Manual for emergency recovery instructions.The Smart Wizard Configuration Assistant does not find either Wireless-N Bridge unit. Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected from the PC to an Ethernet port on the AP mode unit. If the Smart Wizard does not find the Bridge mode unit, make sure the power light on the Bridge mode unit is not blinking in groups of three.The Configuration Assistant scans your LAN, and then shows all the Wireless-N Bridges on it, and whether they are in AP (access point) or Bridge mode.4. To configure a Wireless-N Bridge on the list, double-click it. This transfers you to the Web GUI of that Wireless-N Bridge. 5. Enter password at the prompt to log in.You cannot connect to the Internet. You did not specify the correct Wireless-N Bridge IP address, or there could be a system problem.• Make sure that the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode is connected to a router or gateway through an Ethernet cable.• Make sure that both the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode and the Wireless-N Bridge in Bridge mode show correct IP addresses within the router network.Technical SupportThank you for selecting NETGEAR products.Register your product at http://www.NETGEAR.com/register.
