or you need to assign a unique IP address to subsequent WGE101 bridges. See page 12 for

Connecting the Bridge to Multiple Devices

1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2. Identify a flat surface where you will put the wireless bridge. For best results, follow
these guidelines:
• Place it away from potential sources of interference, such as computers, monitors,
TVs, microwaves, cordless phones, or large metal surfaces.
Warning: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause intermittent or complete failure
of wireless connectivity.
• Place it in an elevated location such as a high shelf or on a wall in the center of
your wireless access area. If you mount the bridge on a wall, do not place the bridge
in such a way that it is vertical with the NETGEAR name upside-down and the power
adapter plug hanging from the bottom of the unit. Having the unit in this position
violates power adapter regulations.
3. Lift the bridge's antenna so it is vertical.
4. Turn off the gaming consoles or other Ethernet-enabled devices.
