Chapter 1: Introduction
The Wireless N300 / N150 Extender connects wired or wireless devices to an existing
network. It expands the boundaries of a wired or wireless local area network (LAN) literally
by repeating or extending access point signals thereby eliminating dead spot problems
and expanding network range. The Wireless N300 / N150 Extender complies with IEEE
802.11n, and provides faster and farther range than 802.11g while being backward
compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b mode. It supports WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPS
WLAN security features that guarantee the best security for users.

Chapter 2: Connecting the Extender
2.1 Setting Up the Extender
1. Attach the antenna(s) to the R-SMAconnector(s) at the back of the Extender.
Note: The number of antennas varies depending on model.
2. Position the antenna(s) for proper placement.
3. Connect the power adapter to the power jack of the Extender and then plug the
power adapter to a power outlet.
4. Connect a host computer to access the web-based configuration utility.
Note: For initial configuration, it is recommended to connect the host computer to the
LAN port with an Ethernet cable, see Connecting Wired Devices on page 8.
Or, to connect a computer wirelessly, search and connect to the Extender
default network:
Network name (SSID): default
Security: disabled
5. After connecting the host computer, configure the computer to be able to
access the web-based configuration utility, see Accessing the Web-Based
Configuration Utility on page 13.

2.2 Connecting Wired Devices
Use the LAN ports to connect wired devices such as computers, printers, and
Ethernet-enabled game consoles to the Extender.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your device and the other end to
one of the LAN ports of the Extender.
2.3 Checking the Connections
To ensure the Extender and all other connected devices are working properly, check the
LED indicators. For basic connection, the following LED must be lit:
Power LED
System LED (blinking)
LAN LED (for every device connected via Ethernet)

2.4 Identifying the Operation Mode
The Wireless N300 / N150 Extender supports four operation modes. Depending on how
you want to use the Extender, determine the type of mode to use and allocate the
appropriate setup location for the Extender. See Wireless > Basic on page 18 to select the
operation mode.
2.4.1 AP Mode
In AP mode, use the Extender as an access point of wireless clients. The Extender has its
own wireless network or network name (SSID) that clients connect to. The Extender
performs tasks that routers do, such as network sharing and broadcasting its SSID.
2.4.2 Repeater Mode
In Repeater mode, the extender works like a bridge between a wireless router and a
wireless client outside the router’s range. The Extender adapts the network name (SSID)
of the wireless router that it is connected to.
