network.

Security Mode: This must be set to the same security mode that is used by the

connecting device. The Medialink router must have the same Security Mode, Algorithm

or Encryption Mode and Key as the wireless device. These will automatically adjust to

your connecting network’s settings.

How to use Range Extender Mode to create a Wireless Access Point
and Bridge from your existing wireless network:

LAN IP Address: First make sure the LAN IP Address of your Medialink router is on a

different network segment than your existing wireless network.

If the LAN IP Address of your existing wireless router or ISP

’s wireless device is

192.168.0.1 then the LAN IP Address of your Medialink router must be

192.168.XXX.Y

YY where XXX does not equal “0”. YYY can be anything from 1~254.

For example:

Existing Wireless Router’s LAN IP – 192.168.0.1

Then

Medialink Wireless Router’s LAN IP – 192.168.8.1 will work.

And

Medialink Wireless Router’s LAN IP – 192.168.0.2 will not work.

The LAN IP of your Medialink Router

can be set in “Advanced Settings” > “LAN Settings”

Using Two Medialink Routers: If your primary wireless network is another Medialink

router you will need to change the IP Address of this second Medialink router to

192.168.XXX.1 where XXX does not equal 8. (ie: 192.168.2.1 would be an acceptable

address since it is different than 192.168.8.1)
