Note: Hybrid mode is used when you want Model 4403 to act as a Repeater, extending the
range of your wireless network as discussed above. WDS Only mode is used to create a
Wireless Bridge between 2 networks as discussed above. Most users should select Hybrid

From the Scanned AP's MAC drop-down menu, select the SSID (Wireless Network Name)
of the Access Point ("AP") you want to connect to. This may be your broadband
modem/router or another router, for instance. We call this your "base router" below. (If you
plugged a second Model 4403 into a base router as discussed above, the second 4403
becomes your "base router".) The Scanned AP's MAC drop-down menu displays both the
MAC address and SSID of the Wireless Networks that it has found. Make a note of the
wireless channel and the type of security that are used by the AP you are connecting to.
As noted above, the AP's security mode needs to be either WEP security (which we
recommend) or No Security unless the AP is a second 4403.

From the Remote AP MAC drop-down menu, select the number of the field you want the
MAC Address to be copied to, then click Copy to. Most users should select 1 to copy it to
the first field.

Click Wireless from the left-side menu to go to the main wireless page.
12
Select the Channel that the AP you just connected to is using from the drop-down menu.

If you are using Hybrid mode, you may want to make Model 4403's SSID different from
your base router's. This makes it easier for you to know which router a wireless client is
connecting to. Either one should work, and you normally select the one with the strongest
wireless signal.
14
Select the Security type and enter the corresponding Key. The security type needs to be the
same as your AP. If your AP isn't a second 4403, you must select WEP Auto security (which
we recommend) or None.

Click Save to save your wireless settings.
Disable DHCP on the model 4403 Repeater. Disabling DHCP means that only the base router
built will assign IP addresses.
To disable DHCP on the Model 4403:
•
Click LAN Setup from the menu.
•
At the DHCP Server, select Disable.
•
If you have two Model 4403 routers on your network, we recommend changing the
default LAN IP Address of the Repeater Model 4403 now to 192.168.2.10. If you
do this, we suggest showing the new LAN IP address on the bottom of the
Repeater Model 4403's case for easy reference. If you make this LAN IP Addresss
change and later need to access the 4403 Repeater's configuration screens, you will
enter 192.168.2.10. To access the other Model 4403, the base router, you will enter
the default IP 192.168.2.1
