Thank you for purchasing NYKO's Wireless Net Extender™ -- the "Invisible Ethernet Cable". This unique product provides a wireless replacement for long Ethernet cables, at a fraction of the cost of current wireless network equipment. The Base Unit and the Remote Unit are factory matched to one another. They will not connect or interfere with another Wireless Net Extender set, nor with any other wireless product. Though this product is designed for wireless online gaming with PlayStation®2 and Xbox™, this 10Base-T system can also be used with computers, printers, and any other Ethernet enabled devices. The Base and Remote Units have a range of up to 100 feet (30 m) and can transmit through most walls, roofs, and floors. Therefore, no costly network wiring installations are required. The Wireless Net Extender offers the ultimate in true Plug-n-Play -- just plug in the power and Ethernet cable and it's GAME ON -- no drivers, no software and no configuration.NYKO® and WIRELESS NET EXTENDER™ are trademarks of NYKO Technologies, Inc.

Of course this product can be used in other ways not shown -- the Wireless Net Extender can replace the Ethernet cable in any 10Base-T application.Network DevicePersonal Computer, Video Game Console, Etc.Switch set toGAME CONSOLEpositionBase UnitRemote UnitPower AdaptorPower AdaptorDSL orCable ModemBASEREMOTEREMOTEGame Console Mode10 Base-TComputer Mode10/100 Base-TSlide SwitchLED IndicatorTroubleshootingThe Slide Switch on the Base Unit selects either of two modes – GAME CONSOLE Mode or COMPUTER Mode.The GAME CONSOLE Mode is the default position for gaming on the net. This enables the wireless Ethernet link between the game console and the DSL/Cable Modem. The right Ethernet cable is disabled.The COMPUTER Mode turns off the wireless function and directly connects the left and right cables. This hardwires your computer, for example, to the DSL/Cable Modem (see Step 2 illustration)Are you having connection problems -- what is the LED doing?No Light: The Wireless Net Extender unit is not getting power. Check the unit’s power connections.Blinking Light (1/2 second on; 1/2 second off) does not turn to solid or flickering:•The other Wireless Net Extender unit is not getting power.•The Net Extender(s) are experiencing too much interference from another device or the two Net Extenders are too far apart in the current surroundings. Reorient each unit to face in the general direction of the other unit (through wall, floor, etc) or change the location of the two Net Extenders (avoid placing the Net Extenders close to large metal surfaces or objects, such as metal tables or metal support pillars).Solid Light but still no link: The Ethernet cable is not plugged into one (or both) of the Wireless Net Extender units or other Network Devices.Flickering Light, however the network connection is not working:(Do the following until the problem is solved.)1. Unplug the power to both Wireless Net Extenders for at least 5 seconds, then power up the two Net Extenders again.2. Turn off or unplug the power to the ADSL/Cable Modem for at least 30 seconds, then power up the ADSL/Cable Modem -- the Network Device (game console, computer, etc) may need to be rebooted, too. This usually fixes most Internet related issues.3. If you have a computer connected to the Base Unit, put the Slide Switch into Computer Mode. Try to access the Internet from the computer. If unsuccessful, you may need to reset your IP address. Refer to the instructions from your Internet Service Provider.Still no success?Replace the Wireless Net Extender with an Ethernet Cable to isolate the problem.
