WAN port – connect to your
existing access point,
broadband modem or
Ethernet router/hub/switch

• LAN port – if your modem or

router/hub/switch has only
one LAN port and is
connected to your PC,
disconnect the Ethernet cable
from the modem/router/hub/
switch and connect it to the
Enabler's LAN port.

• You can also connect it to your

computer's Ethernet port to
access the Enabler's web-
administration page for
troubleshooting purposes.
Refer to page 31 for more
information.

To turn on the Wi-Fi Enabler:
The Enabler will turn on automatically when power
is connected.

To check the RCA Wi-Fi Enabler's status by
reading the LEDs (Lights):
• Normally the POWER, WAN and WIRELESS LEDs

will be on when the enabler is operating as a
router.

• The LAN LED will be on if there is an Ethernet

cable connected from the LAN port on the
Enabler to a computer.

• The MODE LED will be off when the Enabler is

operating as a Router.

• The MODE LED will be on when the Enabler is

operating as an (AP) Access Point.

To rescan the network configuration:
• Your Wi-Fi Enabler comes preconfigured from the

factory so normally no rescan should be
necessary.

• Press and hold the WPS key for 3 seconds. The

MODE LED then starts blinking. This will indicate
to the user that the unit is scanning the network
to determine the correct mode for the new
environment (i.e. either router or AP).

• If during a scanning, the unit cannot determine

the mode or needs more information (i.e. no
response from the WAN connection, PPPOE, fixed
IP address connection, etc) the unit will start
flashing the MODE, WPS and WIRELESS LEDs.

To reset the Enabler:
• If you are unable to connect the radio to the

Wi-Fi enabler, press and hold the RESET for 10
seconds to reset the Wi-Fi enable back to factory
defaults. After resetting the Wi-Fi enabler, try
connecting again.
