7.0 Configuring the router as a signal booster
(Wireless Multi Bridge)
If your own modem or your other wireless router has no support for WDS, you can
setup the EM4543/EM4544/EM4571 as a signal booster by using the Wireless Multi
Bridge option.
Using this option, the Eminent router will connect to your wireless modem or router
using the same technique as your computer does. Once the Eminent router has
established a connection with your wireless modem or router, the Eminent router has
an internet connection. The Eminent router will also broadcast another wireless signal
which your computer can connect to. Your computer will then have an internet
connection.
Use the following steps to setup a Wireless Multi Bridge connection:
7.1 Connecting the signal booster
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
Connect the router to a wall outlet using the supplied power adapter.
3.
Connect the supplied UTP network cable to the ‘LAN 1’ port of the router.
4.
Connect the other end of the UTP network cable to the network adapter of your
computer.

Is my router correctly connected to the wall outlet? You can check this by verifying that
the POWER LED is on.
7.2.Configuring the local wireless network on the signal
booster
Before setting the Eminent router for Wireless Multi Bridge usage, you need to have
the following at hand:
•
The network name of the first wireless router (SSID)
•
The security key of the first wireless router
•
The channel of the first wireless router
Preferably, setting up the Wireless Multi Bridge connection is done using a wired
connection between the wireless Eminent router and the computer.
1.
Turn on your computer.
2.
Open your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox).
3.
Type ‘http://192.168.8.1’ in the address bar.
4.
Press the ‘Enter key’ or click ‘Go to’.

‘Username’ field and ‘admin’ in the ‘Password’ field and press the enter key.
7.
Click 'Advanced Setup'.
8.
Click 'Wireless'.
9.
Click 'Wireless Setup'.
10.
Fill out a SSID: If you want your current wireless network to be extended using
the same network name (SSID), you need to fill out the SSID as used on your
first wireless router. Also, the channel needs to be the same.
11.
Set a security at 'Authentication'. If you want your current wireless network to be
extended using the same network name (SSID), you can set the same security
as used on your first wireless router.

Your Eminent router has now been set using Wireless Multi Bridge.
Hint: If you have set another LAN IP-Address as described in step 11, this IP-Address
needs to be in the same range as the first router. For Example: If your first modem or
router is accessible on IP-Address ‘192.168.1.1’, you need to make sure the Eminent
router is set to this IP-range. You can set the Eminent router to ‘192.168.1.200’. From
that moment on, the Eminent router is accessible using this new IP-Address.
8.0 Configuring the wireless network on your
computer
Now that the router has been secured you will need to configure the computer itself so
it can recognize your secured wireless network and will be able to make a connection.
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 are at this moment the most commonly
used operating systems. We will now explain how to set up a wireless connection
using these operating systems.
