6. Using the WL510 to connect to a Hotspot
The WL510 always has an IP address of 192.168.10.20.
Whether you are connecting just one PC to the WL510 or
multiple PCs via a router, to talk to the WL510, you must
enter the IP address 192.168.10.20 in to the address bar of
a browser on the PC or mobile device connected to the
WL510 or router.
You should then see the WL510 login page as shown in
Fig 4. The first time that you log in, you will be asked to
enter the country in which you are operating the WL510,
language that you want the web interface to be displayed
in and asked to confirm the terms and conditions. The
password is "wl510" by default.
All subsequent logins will just display the password box.
Once logged in to the WL510, you will see the "STATUS"
screen – see Fig 5. Normally this screen would display the
connection status but as this is the first time you have
logged in, there is no wireless connection to a network
established.
Click on the "WIRELESS" tab and you will be taken to the
screen shown in screen, there are three key settings that
need to be configured....

the WL510 transmits to keep it within the legal

off shore and want the maximum possible range,
