Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 Hardware Installation Guide
WARNING: Power the AirBridge only with an Ethernet cable that is connected from
the LAN1 port on the AirBridge to the PoE port on the supplied power adapter. Do
not use any other power source such as a PoE switch. The LAN1 port on the AirBridge
is not a standard PoE port. Using any other power source could damage the device.
4. Use another Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the power adapter to a switch
that is connected to your network.
5. Insert the plug of the power cable into an outlet.
On the power adapter, the PWR LED lights solid green. On the AirBridge, all the
LEDs light and then go off. The Power LED remains solid amber.
6. Connect your computer or mobile device to the same network as the AirBridge.
7. Configure the AirBridge:
a. Configure the operation mode of the AirBridge as satellite.
b. Configure the same AirBridge mode as on the master.
c. Specify the WiFi settings.
For configuration information, see the user manual, which you can download from
netgear.com/support/download/. To configure a master-to-satellite setup, you can
also use NETGEAR Insight. For configuration information, visit netgear.com/insight
and see the NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support.
8. When you complete the configuration, disconnect the AirBridge that is now
configured as the satellite from the network, but leave it powered on.
9. Reconnect the AirBridge that you configured as the master to the network.
Depending on the setup that you configured, the WiFi connection automatically
establishes itself between the master and the satellite.
On the satellite, a single signal strength indicator (SSI) LED lights to indicate the
quality of the signal for the WiFi connection. Because all AirBridges are in the same
room, the right SSI LED lights solid green, indicating a strong WiFi signal.
10. Disconnect the satellite from the network and power it down.
You are now ready to reestablish the WiFi connection at the detached site where
you intend to place the satellite.
