User Manual

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.

OTHER CONFIGURATIONS:
The best way to understand NYKO's "Wireless
Net Extender" is to view it as an "Invisible Ethernet
Cable".
Refer to the “Simple Wireless Setup”, "Multiple
Netwrok Devices: Sharing a Net Extender" and
"Multiple Net Extenders" illustrations for additional
ways the Wireless Net Extender can be used. 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.

Troubleshooting
The 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. If the Ethernet Cable works but the "Wireless Net Extender" does
not: - go to: http://www.nyko.com/faqs.htm
