.
Install the Wireless Access Point
1. IThe VAP2500 Wireless Access Point is capable of transmitting separate programming streams to as many as five client devices (U-verse
Receivers). The Wireless Access Point uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) protocols to identify, authorize and manage traffic to and from its
clients. Register the TV Receiver with the Wireless Access Point Before your TV Receiver can receive any programming, it must be registered
as an authorized device with the Wireless Access Point. Run the WPS procedure as follows:
2. Connect the cord from the DC Power Adapter to the POWER +12VDC connector on the rear of the U-verse Receiver, and plug the adapter into
an AC wall socket, and then connect the U-verse Receiver to your TV set.
3. Press the POWER button on the front of the U-verse Receiver; the button lights green to indicate power is applied. Ensure power is applied to
your TV, as well.
4. Ensure that the VAP2500 is connected to your home gateway device, and that power is applied to it.
Interfacing with the U-verse Receiver
5. Wait 60 seconds after powering the Wireless Access Point, and then press and hold the WPS button on the VAP2500 for two seconds. You will
then have two minutes to activate the WPS on the U-verse Receiver.
6. When the TV Receiver starts up, it will look for a signal from an Wireless Access Point. When it detects the signal, a prompt will apper on your
TV screen asking if you wish to connect.
7. On the front panel of the U-verse Receiver, touch OK. An icon appears on the screen, indicating that the connection sequence is in process.
When three horizontal dots appear, the connection has been successful.
8. On the front panel of the U-verse Receiver, the Link indicator lights green. You have now established a secure wireless connection between
the Wireless Access Point and the Client and canbegin streaming video content to your secondary set-top box or boxes.
Installing Additional U-Verse Receivers
Once you’ve installed your Wireless Access Point to your home gateway and established a wireless connection with your Client, you can install
additional VAP2500 clients throughout your home. Follow the instructions below for each single client unit you wish to install.
1. Connect the VAP2500 to your secondary set-top box with the provided Ethernet cable. Before you connect the VAP2500, ensure your set-top
box is powered on.
Note: While you are required to connect your VAP2500 to a set-top box to ensure it properly transfers video throughout your home, the
VAP2500’s extra Ethernet ports provide you with the option of connecting other devices to the unit as well, such as computers and gaming
consoles.
2. Connect the power adapter to the VAP2500 and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. You’ll see the unit’s Power and Ethernet LEDs lights go on,
indicating the unit is powered:

3. Wait 60 seconds after powering the VAP2500, and then press and hold the WPS button on the back of the Hoem Gateway Unit for two
seconds. After doing so, you will have two minutes to return to the Wireless Access Point and press and hold its WPS button. Pressing the
buttons on both units enables them to establish a wireless connection.
