This allows the Extender to connect to everything from legacy wireless laptops, computers, and gaming platforms, up to the most current (and future) Apple and Android tablets, laptops, media platforms, and smartphones. The Extender works by being placed in a central location of the home, or in a location where the existing wireless signal is weak, and then being physically connected directly to your gateway/modem. This physical connection not only extends the signal, but allows the Extender to import and automatically configure itself with the same network ID/SSID and password currently in use and configured on the existing gateway/modem. This means that wherever you are in your house, your WiFi tablet, laptop, phone, or wireless device will automatically connect to Internet without anyone having to find a new network name or enter security keys. For users with newer mobile devices, tablets, and laptops, connections through the 5GHz radio can markedly increase the performance and speed of your WiFi connection, while freeing up the 2.4GHz band for legacy or older devices. ! ! 3 WCB5000 Wireless Network Extender Features •2.4GHz and 5GHz dual concurrent 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi radios •5GHz 802.11ac WiFi radio •Four Gigabit Ethernet ports •One coaxial port (MoCA 2.0) •Integrated wireless networking with 2x2 802.11n and 2x2 802.11ac access point •Multiple security offerings, including, MAC address filtering, and WPA •Other options including WMM, IP address management, carrier remote support and management, and upgradable firmware. ! 4 Getting to Know the Extender This chapter describes the location and uses of the Extender’s LEDs, ports, and buttons. Front Panel The front panel features LEDs that illuminate green when power, available ports, and/or wireless bands are functioning and in use. ! 5 Power 2.4GHz radio LAN Coax 5GHz radio WCB5000 Wireless Network Extender Back Panel •Power port: used to connect the power adapter (external, 12V DC, 1.5A, made by Ktec, model #KSASB0241200150HU) to the Extender. •Reset button: restores the Extender back to the original factory default settings when held down for at least 10 seconds. •Coax port: used for connecting the Extender to a coaxial network. •Four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch: used for directly connecting the Extender to the gateway/modem or other Ethernet devices. •Labels: indicate the factory default GUI access username and password, network SSID names, and security keys. ! ! 6 Installing the Extender There are two parts to installing an Extender: syncing the Wi-Fi settings, and placing and connecting the Extender. Syncing Wi-Fi To sync the Extender with the gateway/modem’s Wi-Fi settings: 1.Place the Extender next to the gateway/modem. 2.Plug the Extender’s power adapter into the Power port of the Extender, and the other end into an electrical wall outlet. 3.Press the WPS button on both the Extender and the gateway/modem simultaneously for ten seconds. 4.Make sure the WPS button on the Extender is glowing green. If the WPS button glows red, try syncing the Wi-Fi settings again. The Extender can also be manually configured to connect with the gateway/modem’s wireless network (see “Wireless Setup” on page 14). The Extender is now synced with the gateway/modem’s Wi-Fi settings. Unplug the Extender and its power cable and continue on to the next section of this chapter, “Connecting the Extender.” 7 WCB5000 Wireless Network Extender Connecting the Extender Now that the Extender is synced with the gateway/modem’s wireless network, it can be connected to the gateway/modem’s MoCA network and placed in another area or room of the home/office. To do this: 1.Place the Extender in an area where the Wi-Fi signal is weak or spotty. A coaxial outlet must be available nearby. 2.Connect the included coaxial cable into the Coax port on the rear panel of the Extender. 3.Connect the other end of the coaxial cable into the nearby coaxial outlet. 4.Plug the Extender’s power adapter into the Power port of the Extender, and the other end into an electrical wall outlet. 5.If applicable, connect an Ethernet cable between one of the Extender’s LAN ports and the Ethernet port of a non-wireless device (wireless devices will connect via the wireless network). The configuration should look similar to the figure, below: ! 8 Installing the Extender 6.Wait until the Coax and Wireless LEDs on the front panel of the Extender glow green. This may take a few minutes. The Extender is now synced, installed, and extending the gateway/ modem’s wireless network in a previously weak area. Using a Coaxial Splitter If another device is using the coaxial outlet needed from step 3 in the previous procedure, perform the following steps: 1.Disconnect the coaxial cable from the coaxial outlet. 2.Connect a coaxial cable between the coaxial outlet and the single port on a two-way coaxial splitter. 3.Connect the coaxial cable disconnected in step 1of this procedure to one of the dual ports on the splitter. 4.Connect a coaxial cable between the Coax port of the Extender and the other dual port on the splitter. The final configuration should be similar to the inset in the figure on the previous page. ! 9 Accessing the Extender’s GUI The Extender features an onboard graphical user interface (GUI) that includes…
