INTRODUCTION
The N wireless router is a network connection device that
is both wired and wireless and is specifically designed for
small businesses and offices and to respond to the
demands of networking home offices. It is compliant with
the IEEE 802.11n standard. It adopts MIMO and SST
technologies It also works very well with other products
running 11b/g or 11n protocols. Create instantaneous Wi-Fi
access points wherever you have access to an Internet
connection.

DEPLOYMENT
Establishment of a wireless infrastructure network.
The N wireless mini router can be set as a Repeater,
Access Point, Router, Bridge and a Client. You have to
connect the cables differently based on the way, in which
www.lab31.eu

you want to use the N wireless mini router.
Repeater:
Pc-user
Repeater
Wifi AP/Router
Internet
What is the network infrastructure like after configuration?
The repeater mode enables you to extend the WI-FI signal
of an existing WI-FI signal in your home or office without
needing to connect an RJ-45 network cable between the
N wireless mini router and your Access Point/Router that is
already installed. By default the N wireless mini router will
use the same name (SSID) as that of the Access
Point/Router whose signal it’s going to repeat.
Once the installation is complete, you’ll be able to
connect to the N wireless mini router or with a wireless
network cable via the LAN port on the N wireless mini
router to access your local network. The password of the
Wi-Fi signal of the N wireless mini router will be the same as
www.lab31.eu

the one used on your AP/Router.
If you want to log on to the router management page
once the installation has been completed, you must set
up the IP address of your computer manually on
192.168.10.x. See the chapter entitled, Configuration
Assistant, for information on how to change the IP address
of a computer.
1. Connect the supply plug of the N wireless mini router
to an electrical wall outlet.
2. Connect a PC to the LAN port on the N wireless mini
router with an RJ-45 cable in order to set the Wi-Fi
Repeater mode.

What is the network infrastructure like after configuration?
Access Point (AP) mode is used to create a wireless signal
if you have a router that doesn’t have wireless technology.
The N wireless mini router must be connected directly to
your router with an RJ-45 network cable.
Once the installation is complete, you’ll be able to
connect wirelessly to the N wireless mini router or via the
LAN port of the N wireless mini router, by means of a
network cable, to access your local network. In this mode
you will choose yourself if you want your Wi-Fi password to
be protected and what this password is.
If you want to log on to the router management page
once the installation has been completed, you must set

192.168.10.x See the chapter entitled, Configuration
Assistant, for information on how to change the IP address
of a computer.
1. You must have a Router at home. Your home Router
must be connected to the N wireless mini router
without interruption in order to be able to use Access
Point mode.
2. Connect one end of an RJ-45 network cable to the
WAN port in the N wireless mini router and the other
end of the RJ-45 cable to a free port on your router.
3. Connect the supply plug of the N wireless mini router
to an electrical wall outlet.
4. Connect a computer to the LAN port of the wireless
mini router with an RJ-45 cable to configure the

What is the network infrastructure like after configuration?
Router mode is used if you don’t already have a router at
home. In router mode, the N wireless mini router will
automatically assign an IP address to peripheral devices
that are connected to the network. For router mode, the
N wireless mini router must be connected to your
ADS/Modem cable by means of a network cable. In this
mode, you can decide on the Name (SSID) and the Wi-Fi
network password created by the N wireless mini router. By
default, the Security Mode is set to Disabled. You can
change this while you are using the configuration assistant
to protect your Wi-Fi network with a password.

Once the installation is complete, you’ll be able to
connect wirelessly to the N wireless mini router or with a
network cable via the LAN port of the N wireless mini
router to access your local network. The password for the
Wi-Fi signal of the N wireless mini router will be the
password that you entered.
1. You’ll need high-speed Internet access (a DSL
connection or a Modem Cable line at home or at the
office).
2. Consult your DSL or Modem Cable provider for correct
installation of the modem.
3. Connect to the DSL or Modem Cable via the WAN
port of the N wireless mini router with an RJ-45 network
cable.
4. Connect the supply plug of the N wireless mini router
to an electrical wall outlet.
5. Connect a computer to the LAN port of the N wireless
mini router with an RJ-45 network cable to configure it
in Router mode.

What is the network infrastructure like after configuration?
Bridge mode enables you to extend your existing home or
office Wi-Fi signal without needing to connect an RJ-45
network cable between the N wireless mini router and
your Access Point/Router that is already installed.
In this mode, you decide on the Name (SSID) and
password of the Wi-Fi network created by the N wireless
mini router.
Once the installation is complete, you’ll be able to
connect wirelessly to the N wireless mini router or with a

Wi-Fi AP/router
Internet
What is the network infrastructure like after configuration?
Client mode is useful if you have an office that doesn’t
have a wireless network adaptor but does have an RJ-45
Ethernet port. Then the N wireless mini router can receive
the Wi-Fi signal from your AP/Router and can share it with
the computer via its Ethernet RJ-45 port. The computer will
thus be connected to the private network. In this mode,
you will only be able to connect to the N wireless mini
router by means of a network cable.
1. Connect a computer to the LAN port of the N wireless
mini router with an RJ-45 network cable to configure it
to Client mode.

Connection to the N wireless router for configuration
To use the device you must have access to a computer
that you can connect to the repeater (LAN) port. It's
preferable to use a computer that only has one network
card with a cable and no Wi-Fi, in order not to be
disturbed by two simultaneous LAN connections. If you use
a computer that has Wi-Fi as well, we would advise you to
shut it down temporarily.
Remove the Wifi repeater device from its packaging and
connect to the power supply by plugging it into an outlet.
Keep the computer switched off. Create a network
between the computer and the Wi-Fi repeater using the
RJ-45 network cable provided.
www.lab31.eu

Start the computer.
Most computers are configured to obtain an IP address
automatically by means of the DHCP mechanism. If the
computer is connected to the Wi-Fi repeater, this will not
be the case. Thus, you must temporarily change the
settings of the network card as follows:
Open the Control Panel
www.lab31.eu

Double-click on "Network and Sharing Center" and the
following screen will appear:
Click to the left on "Change adapter settings". The
following screen will appear:

Depending on your computer's components, several
adapters may appear here. Right-click on the adapter
that is presently connected to the Wi-Fi repeater.
A context menu will appear.
Select the "Properties" option. The following screen will
appear:

As previously indicated, the computer will generally be
configured to obtain an IP address and DNS server
addresses automatically as shown in the screen capture

above.
If your computer has a static IP address, take careful note
of the settings of this screen. If adjustment of the repeater
has finished, you should be able to restore the original
settings. Change the settings of this screen as follows in
order to be able to access the configuration page for the
Wi-Fi repeater:
Please ensure that all numbers and all buttons are set
exactly as they are in
