1. Familiarize yourself with the features of the Wireless-N Bridge. DEFAULTACCESSPower Ethernet ports Mode switch Power light on/off switch Power light Rear panel WPS button/light Front panel 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. • 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 WNHDEB111 HD/Gaming 5 GHz 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.

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. Setting Up One WNHDE111 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/ Bridge 1. Set the switch on the back of the Wireless-N Bridge to Auto mode (it will set itself to AP mode). 2. Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router or gateway (A) to either LAN port on the Wireless-N Bridge. 3. Place your computer or other device (B) within range of the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode. Laptop with embedded Wireless-N adapter Desktop PC Internet A Apple TV Router/gateway B WNHDE111 HDTV with Wireless-N Network storage Wireless-N enabled set-top box 4. Connect a power adapter to the Wireless-N Bridge. 5. Connect your wireless clients by one of the following methods: • In your client’s adapter configuration settings, to use the default WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK security settings, enter the SSID as NETGEAR-HD, and the passphrase that is printed on the Resource CD. • If your wireless device has a WPS push-button, connect it to the Wireless-N Bridge in AP mode, similar to steps 3-5 in “To Add Another Wireless-N Bridge to a System with a Wireless-N Bridge in AP Mode” on page 1. To Add Another Wireless-N Bridge to a System with a Wireless-N Bridge in AP Mode 1. Make sure the WNHDE111 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge you are adding is not set to AP mode, place it near the devices that will work with it. 2. Connect a power adapter to the new Wireless-N Bridge. 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 Wizard Use 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.
