Universal WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT
Connect a PC to the Extender with an Ethernet Cable
Usually, you connect to the range extender wirelessly, but you can use its LAN ports to
connect wired devices such as Ethernet-enabled gaming consoles, printers, or PCs.
Note: Before you connect wired devices or computers, first install and set
up your range extender as described in the Universal WiFi Extender
WN2000RPT Installation Guide that came in the package.
1. Connect your computer to the range extender with an Ethernet cable.
Figure 4. Using an Ethernet cable to connect the range extender to a PC
2. Connect the range extender power adapter, and plug it into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
Do not use Ethernet cable to connect the range extender to a router. If you
do so, the range extender does not work because it is designed to use
only a wireless connection to the router.
3. Log in as described in the following section.
If you have trouble connecting:
• If you start your computer, connect the Ethernet cable to the range extender, and launch
your browser quickly, the computer might still need a couple of minutes to recognize the
Ethernet LAN connection before you can connect.
• Make sure that your Ethernet cable is securely connected to the range extender and the
computer, and that the range extender LAN LED is on. If the LED is not lit reconnect the
Ethernet cable, and relaunch your Internet browser.
