Chapter II: System and Network Setup 2-1 Build Network Connection Please follow the following instructions to build the network connection between your new HD45B access point and your computers and other network devices: 1. Connect your HD45B to the network port of your computer or connect wirelessly to it. 2. Connect all your computers and network devices (network-enabled consumer devices other than computers, like game console, or switch / hub) to the network. 3.
2‐2 Definitions of Dual Band and HD45B Supported Modes 2.4GHz vs 5GHz The HD45B supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. 2.4GHz is the most commonly used wireless bandwidth. It also has a very narrow range of channels, usually between 1-11. Common household devices such as microwaves and cordless phones also use the 2.4GHz bandwidth, and can cause interference with your wireless network.
devices wirelessly with your network. It will not broadcast any WiFi signal. It will only make a wireless connection between the Access Point and the HD45B. The HD45B will only connect to either 2.4GHz or a 5GHz network. AP Bridge – Point to Point: Similar to station-infrastructure, this requires two HD45B’s on each end. This will create a wireless bridge between these two points. No WiFi signal will be broadcast and it will only make a wireless connection between those two points.
AP Bridge WDS: Wireless Distributing System. This allows you to create a wireless network using up to four HD45B’s using the same SSID (wireless name). It will broadcast a WiFI signal.

steady for 2 minutes when this wireless access point is waiting for incoming WPS request. Configure by client PinCode (5) Please input the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect, and click ‘Start PIN’ button. The ‘WLAN’ LED light on the wireless access point will be steady when this wireless access point is waiting for incoming WPS request.
3-4-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless network: 1. Never use simple words for your password, such as “password” or “1234567890”. 2. A complicated (combination of numbers, alphabets, and even symbols) WEP key and WPA passphrase is more secure than simple and short words. Remember that the wireless client is capable of keeping the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once.

5‐2 Troubleshooting If you find that the access point is working improperly or stops responding, check some of the FAQs below. You can also contact our support by email or phone. Scenario Solution Access point is not a. Please check the connection of power cords and responding to me when I want to access it by web browser network cables of this access point. All cords and cables should be correctly and firmly inserted into the access point. b.
after that. d. Try to know what computers do on your local network. If someone’s transferring big files, other people will think Internet is really slow. e. If this has never happened before, call your Internet service provider to know if there is something wrong with their network. I can’t log onto web management interface: password is wrong a. Make sure you’re connecting to the correct IP address of the access point! b. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the ‘Caps Lock’ light is not illuminated. c.
5-3 Glossary Default Gateway (Access point): Every non-access point IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID. For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001.10110000.10010000.

Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol.
Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol. WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries).
