Linksys WAP300NSetting Up: BasicsSetting Up: BasicsHow to expand your home networkWhat is a network?Where to find more helpIn addition to this User Guide, you can also find help at Linksys.com/support(documentation, downloads, FAQs, technical support, live chat, forums).A network is any group of devices that can communicate with each other. Atypical home network may include multiple computers, a printer, a modem (forInternet access), and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devicessuch as TVs, game consoles, and web cameras.How to expand your home networkYour WAP300N provides several ways to increase your home network’scapabilities and wireless range. You can use it as any of the following: Access Point mode (default) Wireless Media Connector mode Wireless Range Extender mode Wireless Bridge modeRefer to the following pages for more detailed explanations and examplediagrams.3

Linksys WAP300NSetting Up: BasicsOperating modesAccess Point ModeAdds wireless networking to an existing wired (Ethernet) network or upgrades an existingwireless network. For instructions about using this mode, see “How to use Access Pointmode” on page 9. If you have a wired network, this mode adds the ability to connect wireless devices(such as notebook computers, tablets, and smartphones) to the network. If you have an older wireless network, this mode adds Wireless-N (802.11n)networking support. If you have a Wireless-N (802.11n) 2.4 GHz-only network, this mode adds support forthe 5 GHz 00NSmartphone4

Linksys WAP300NSetting Up: BasicsWireless Range Extender modeExtends the wireless range of an existing wireless network, and also adds wirelessnetworking capability to any wired (Ethernet) device. For instructions about using thismode, see “How to use Wireless Range Extender mode” on page 00NTabletEthernet-Capable Game Console6

Linksys WAP300NSetting Up: BasicsWireless Bridge modeWirelessly connects separate wired networks. For instructions about using thismode, see “How to use Wireless Bridge mode” on page OTEEach wired network must be connectedto its own WAP300N (in Wireless Bridgemode), and each WAP300N must haveidentical wireless settings.7

Linksys WAP300NSetting Up: BasicsHow to install your WAP300NThe easiest way to install your WAP300N is to use the included Setup CD.NOTEThe Setup CD can only help you set up the WAP300N in AccessPoint mode. For more information and examples of other modes,see the diagrams on pages 4 to 7.To install your WAP300N:1. Insert the CD into your CD or DVD drive. Make sure that the computer isalready connected to your home network.2. Click Set up your wireless access point.If you do not see this:For Windows, find and click Computer, then double-click the CD driveand the Setup icon.For Mac, double-click the CD icon on your desktop, then double-click theSetup icon.3. Follow the on-screen instructions.How to open the browser-based utilityTIPS If the WAP300N is connected to a network with a DHCP server(usually the network router), find the device’s IP address inthe DHCP client table of your router (refer to your router’sdocumentation for help). Use that IP address to open thebrowser-based utility. If there is no DHCP server, or if the WAP300N is not wirelesslyconnected to any other device and it is connected with anEthernet cable directly to a computer, then the WAP300N uses10.100.1.1 as its IP address until a DHCP server is detected. If you set a static IP address for the WAP300N through thebrowser-based utility, then enter the static IP address instead.3. Leave the User name field blank, then type the password you createdduring Setup. If you did not create a new password, use the defaultpassword admin.4. Click OK. The main menu opens.For advanced configuration of the WAP300N, you need to open the browserbased utility.To open the browser-based utility:1. Connect the WAP300N to your network. For example, use the includedcable to connect your WAP300N to the Ethernet port on your networkrouter or a networked computer.2. Open a web browser on a computer connected to your network, thenenter the IP address of your WAP300N. You are prompted for a user nameand password.8
