LAN and wirelessly connected computers must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. For instructions on how to do this, please see the animated tutorials on the Resource CD. • Check the Power light on the WGX102 and XE102 Bridge. If the Power light is off, make sure power is supplied to the electrical outlet, and the wall-plugged equipment is not plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector. • Check the HomePlug light on the WGX102 and XE102 Bridge. If this light is off, the devices cannot find each other. Make sure the WGX102 and the XE102 Bridge are plugged into outlets with power and that the Ethernet connection to the bridge is secure.
