Preparing to Install the ME101

Placement and Range Guidelines

Computers and other Ethernet-enabled devices can connect over 802.11b wireless networks

indoors at a maximum range of approximately 500 feet. However, the operating distance or

range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical location of the

ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge. For best results, avoid potential sources of

interference, such as:

•Large metal surfaces

•Microwaves

•2.4 GHz cordless phones

In general, 802.11b wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are

constructed with concrete or have metal (or metal mesh), the effective range will decrease if

such materials are between the wireless devices.

Operating Mode

The ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge operates only in infrastructure mode. In this mode

devices and computers communicate with each other by first going through a wireless router or

access point. For example, infrastructure mode is used when you have computers in a house

connected to an access point that is attached to a router. The router lets multiple computers

share a single cable or DSL broadband Internet connection.

ME101 Default Wireless Configuration Settings

Note: If you are setting up a new wireless network, please set up the network and make sure it

works before adding the ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge into the network.

You will need to identify the wireless configuration and security parameters already defined in

your wireless network.

Note: All NETGEAR, Inc. 802.11b wireless access products use the same factory settings as the

ME101 and will work without any configuration changes.

The factory default settings for your ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge are:

•Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc): Infrastructure

•Wireless network name Service Set Identification (SSID): Any

Note: Any means the bridge will connect to the first access point or wireless router that

responds to the bridge’s request for connection. This may not be the strongest signal or the

closest access point or router. For the ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge to communicate

with a specific wireless router or access point, both devices must be configured with the

same SSID.

•User ID: admin

•Password: password

•Authentication type: Auto

•WEP security: Disabled

•Country/Region: U.S.A.

Warning: Having the bridge set to the wrong country or region may result in the violation

of local laws.

•IP address: 192.16 .0.200

Installing the ME101

This section provides instructions for connecting the ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge

to any Ethernet-enabled device using the default settings.

Note: If you find that the default settings don’t work, if you know that you’ve configured your

wireless network with WEP security, or if you are not in the United States, you’ll have to

configure the bridge before connecting it to the Ethernet-enabled device. To configure the

bridge, see Configuring Your ME101 on page 6.

1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.

2. Identify a flat surface where you will put the wireless bridge. For best results, follow

these guidelines:

•Place it away from potential sources of interference, such as computers, monitors,

TVs, microwaves, cordless phones, or large metal surfaces.

Warning: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause intermittent or complete failure

of wireless connectivity.

•Place it in an elevated location such as a high shelf or on a wall in the center of

your wireless access area.

3. Lift the bridge’s antenna so it is vertical.

Note: The ME101 Wireless Bridge should be connected to one device only. Don’t connect

it through a network switch or hub.

6. Connect the power adapter to the wireless bridge and plug the power adapter in to a

power outlet. The Power and Wireless LAN lights should light up.

7. After you see the Wireless LAN light light up, turn on the gaming console or other

Ethernet-enabled device.

If the bridge and the Ethernet-enabled device are successfully connected, the Network

light will light up. This light flashes when there is network activity.

Note: If your setup works with the default settings, you don’t need to install the software

from the provided CD to configure the bridge unless you need to change the

Country/Region setting from the default setting (U.S.A.).

Configuring Your ME101

If the default settings don’t work in your wireless network, you need to configure the bridge.

Identifying the Wireless Network Name (SSID), IP Address,

and WEP Security Settings

You may want to print this page separately, fill in the configuration parameters, and put it in a

safe place for possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up

the network will be able to provide this information.

Note: For the access point or router and the bridge to communicate with each other, both must

be configured with the same SSID, WEP security settings, and the same IP subset address.

•Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the

wireless local area network. Any is the default ME101 SSID. If you have named your

wireless network with a different SSID, write your network’s SSID on the line below.

Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________

•Bridge IP Address: Your Ethernet network has an IP subset address given as a set of three

numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy) plus a last set of numbers to identify each device on the

network. The default IP address for the bridge is 192.168.0.200. To communicate to your

Ethernet network, the bridge must have an address consistent with your network’s IP

address. If you need to change the bridge’s IP address, write down the new address.

Bridge’s IP address: ______________________________

•WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption mode of the bridge is

disabled. If you have set up WEP security on your wireless network (through the router or

access point), you’ll need to configure the bridge using the same WEP security parameters.

WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 40/64 or 128 bits

WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used in the router or access point: ___________________

A passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key.

Otherwise, you will have to manually enter up to four hexadecimal numbers.

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
