If the Ethernet port is not connected to a functional LAN,
then your PC will "self-assign" an IP address.
Using AP/Router Mode
1. Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port to the desired LAN or WAN.
Note:
To avoid potential problems, you should NOT change the LAN/WAN connection from the
Wireless 3-in-1 Companion to your PC, or vice versa. Doing so may cause the connection
to fail.
2. Use the mode selector switch on the side on the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion to select
"AP/Router" mode.
3. Wait for the restart to be completed, and the Wireless LED to turn On.
4. On your PC, select the wireless LAN matching the SSID of the Wireless 3-in-1 Compan-
ion in AP/Router mode.
• The default SSID for AP/Router mode is
default_Router
• If necessary, configure your PC's wireless interface to match the settings of the Wire-
less 3-in-1 Companion's AP/Router mode.
• You can check the status of your PC's wireless interface to see that your PC has ob-
tained an IP address. If it has, then the Wireless connection to the Wireless 3-in-1
Companion is working correctly.
5. You should now be able to access the LAN or WAN.
If you can't, you can connect to the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion (while still in AP/Router
mode) to check its status and configuration.
Connecting in AP/Router Mode
1. Start your Web browser
2. In the "Location" or "Address", enter "HTTP://" and the current IP address for the Wire-
less LAN, as set on the AP/Router screen. The default value is 192.168.0.1:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
3. If the password has been set (by default, it is blank), you will be prompted for the user-
name and password.
• Enter
admin for the user name.
• Enter the current password.
4. You will then see the Mode Configuration screen.
Click the "Configure" button for AP/Router Mode.
You will see a screen like the following.
