Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the
WAP-4036.
Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal strength and speed fall off
with distance.
Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase rather than the bottom
one, if possible.
Prior to connecting the hardware, make sure to power off your Ethernet device and Wireless Access
Point (AP). Then follow the steps below to connect the related devices.
Step 1: Connect your computer to the LAN port of WAP-4036 by using RJ-45 cable. Attach one end
of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to your hub, switch or a computer's Ethernet port,
and the other end to one of the LAN ports of your AP.
Step 2: Assemble the antenna to WAP-4036. Try to place them to a position that can best cover your
wireless network. The antenna's position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
Step 3: Connect the power adapter. Connect the single DC output connector of the power adapter to
the power jack on the side of the AP. Then plug the Power Adapter into an AC outlet.
Step 4: Power on the following devices in this order: HUB or Switch, AP, and PCs
ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WAP-4036. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged. If you want to reset your WAP-4036 to default settings, press the Reset button 5
second. Then release the button and wait for 10 seconds for rebooting.
