Manually Configuring your Router
Setting up a Bridge Between your Router and a Secondary Access Point
Bridging your Belkin Router to a secondary access point requires that you access
the Router's Advanced Setup Utility and enter the MAC address of the access point
in the appropriate area. There are also a few other requirements.
PLEASE BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW CAREFULLY.
1. Set your access point to the same channel as the Router. For more information
on changing channels, see the "Wireless - Channel and SSID" section of this
User Manual.
2. Find the access point's MAC address on the bottom of the access point. There
are two MAC addresses on the bottom label. You will need the MAC address
named "WLAN MAC Address". The MAC address starts with "0030BD" and is
followed by six other numbers or letters (i.e., 0030BD-XXXXXX). Write the MAC
address below. Go to the next step.
3. Place your secondary access point within range of your Router and near
the area where you want to extend the range or add the network segment.
Typically, indoor range should be between 100 and 200 feet.
4. Connect power to your access point. Make sure the access point is on and
proceed to the next step.
5. From a computer already connected to your Router, access the Advanced Setup
Utility by opening your browser. In the address bar, type in "192.168.2.1". Do
not type in "www" or "http://" before the number. Note: If you have changed
your Router's IP address, use that IP address.
6. You will see the Router's user interface in the browser window. Click "Wireless
Bridge" (2) on the left-hand side of the screen. You will see the following
screen.
7. Check the box that says, "Enable ONLY specific Access Points to connect" (1)].
