You need to connect to your computer to the Western Digital range extender via a and ethernet cable. Then simply open Internet explorer. It will reroute you to the set up page for the Western Digital range extender.

Move it closer to the router or use a Ethernet over powerline adapter. Lastly use another Z wave adapter as a repeater...good luck.

It is connected via an ethernet cable (no wireless). Personally I bought a cheap wireless bridge ( http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7228APn-150Mbps-Wireless-Extender/dp/B005KN1YV6 ) and plugged the receiver and all my other internet-saavy A/V equipment into that. I figure I will never need to stream more than 1 of those devices at once so why not plug them into a single point.

You have 2 options as this device is just a switch not a wireless router. If you have a wireless signal between your wireless router and your bedroom you can get a wireless extender such as a belkin or linksys (I have the linksys) for around $70 that plugs into a power outlet. Easy to set up and it uses the WPS signal button that you press on the extender and the wireless router and it sets up a wirelessEXT signal that you can see in your bedroom. The second option (which I have now as well) if you need a wired connection you can by the TRENDnet powerline adapters (2 of them, normally sold in a set) and one plugs in the wall by your router with an Ethernet cord connected to it(included) and the other one plugs in your wall where you want signal with an Ethernet wired from it (included) to this switch you are looking at, so you can plug in multiple devices. You would only need powerline adapters with one Ethernet port if you use a switch like this, more ports are more expensive. That option was around $25 plus this switch. With these options you don't have to run a long Ethernet cable from router to the bedroom, but if that's how you want to do it, that would work as well.

Thank you all for your responses. One last question I have is ifIt wirelessly connect to my router, or do I need to run an Ethernet wire from this to my router?

All you have to do is, make sure 5g band was pushed, plug it in, and press the power button, then press the "wps" button too. It should work within 5 minutes or less. Your extender has to be half way between your router and what you're connecting to (Tablet, Ipod, Computer, etc.) Then you have to match your extender and your router, you can do it with your tablet, Ipod, or computer, I did with my Ipod.

Yes man. Just press on the middle button.But listen to me, don't get this product because it isn't worth the money you're paying for it. The product itself is cheap and the "wireless" signal doesn't respond most of the time. Just look for other signals man.

Wires to your push button. Not wireless. Remove push button, disconnect two wires and connect two wires from magic closer into push button terminals. Place push button back on wall. Majic closer velcros to wall. Other Majic unit velcros to garage door. Done

You must have Internet. It can then be attached by wire or used wirelessly.

Yes, it will work just fine with a wireless adapter. I use an Iogear adapter with wps setup. It works just fine and is unobtrusive.

You must use a LAN cable out of the box. To add wireless internet you must buy a separate adaptor.

yes there is. Here is a link to the PDF installation guide which shows in diagram the WPS button on the router. Look at the small top right diagram showing two buttons. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WGR614V10/WGR614_IGPM_30Oct12.pdf

Yes, you need what we call the base unit like (TP-LINK TL-PA211 AV200 Mini Powerline Adapter) . the base unit is the one you plug in the electricity outlet near your router and you connect it with the router by a RJ cable . after that you can plug the WPA281 (the one you already have it) in any electricity outlet in your home and you will have both Wifi signal plus a cable connection option.

go to wifi icon than menue put in your password to your wireless and you are connected. I had to do it a few times to get it right. Also download pamlet and it tells you in there.

Edward, it is not a wireless unit. It requires a hardwire feed into it from either your modem, router, or other Internet source. The outputs are hardwired also - CAT6 Ethernet cables.

you would need access to the router, either to initially set up this range extender by using the wps buttons on the router (if available) and the range extender, or else have the password to light in to the router's network, but the latter is a lengthier process than the former and doesn't seem to work as reliably.

Hi Bob. IF you are going to use the TR-Link device as an Access Point then yes, connect it to your wireless router using a regular RJ45 (straight-through) Cat5 cable. Regarding the power, the device came with a power supply which sends power to the TP-Link over a Cat5 cable. Hope that helped!
