Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 Hardware Installation Guide WARNING: Power the AirBridge only with an Ethernet cable that is connected from the LAN1 port on the AirBridge to the PoE port on the supplied power adapter. Do not use any other power source such as a PoE switch. The LAN1 port on the AirBridge is not a standard PoE port. Using any other power source could damage the device. 3. Use another Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the power adapter to a switch that is connected to your network or directly to your network router. Your network can provide Internet access to the AirBridge. The master provides a network connection over the WiFi connection to the satellite. 4. Insert the plug of the power cable into an outlet. On the power adapter, the PWR LED lights solid green. On the AirBridge, all the LEDs light and then go off. The Power LED remains solid amber. 5. Connect your computer or mobile device to the same network as the AirBridge. 6. Configure the operation mode of the AirBridge as master and specify the WiFi settings. For configuration information, see the user manual, which you can download from netgear.com/support/download/. To configure a master-to-satellite setup, you can also use NETGEAR Insight. For configuration information, visit netgear.com/insight and see the NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support. 7. When you complete the configuration, disconnect the AirBridge from the network, but leave it powered on. To prevent a network loop, do not keep the master connected to the network while you locally set up and configure the satellite. Step 4b: Set up and establish the WiFi connection on the satellite at the main site Perform this task on the AirBridge that must function as the satellite. To set up the WiFi connection locally on the AirBridge that must function as the satellite: 1. Place the AirBridge that must function as the satellite in the same room as the AirBridge that you configured as the master (see Step 4a: Set up the WiFi connection on the master at the main site on page 36). 2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN1 (PoE-24V) port on the AirBridge that must function as the satellite. 3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE port on the power adapter.

Step 4b: Set up and establish the WiFi connection on the
satellite at the main site
Perform this task on the AirBridge that must function as the satellite.
To set up the WiFi connection locally on the AirBridge that must function as the
satellite:
1.

AirBridge that you configured as the master (see Step
4a:
Set
up
the
WiFi
connection
on
the
master
at
the
main
site
on page 36).
2.
