** If installing a router on the client side, it will not work if it is using a similar IP address as the host router.
For example, if host router’s IP address is set to 192.168.1.1 then change client router to 192.168.2.1
Your equipment has been pre-configured by C. Crane to work right out of the box, once all
cables are connected properly. Please follow the setup instructions below, while referencing
each step number to the corresponding Connection Diagram.
Note 1: An existing Internet connection, router, and WiFi antennas are required to complete
this kit. Please refer to the Important Information sheet before purchasing additional
equipment to ensure compatibility.
Note 2: When unpacking, notice that the cables are already connected to each part properly.
The cables must be connected in this configuration in order to function.
Connect the 5-foot Ethernet Cable to one of the ports titled “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” on your
existing Internet router.
Plug the Power Injector into 120V AC power (standard USA wall power outlet) using the
power cable.
Apply Silicone Grease to the connector threads on the antenna (sold separately). Attach
the Host Bridge to the antenna. Once attached, wrap protective Coax Tape around the
outside of the connectors to ensure a good waterproof seal.
If using directional antennas, be sure that both antennas are accurately pointed toward
each other. If using an omni-directional WiFi antenna, be sure that is vertically oriented.
There must be good line of sight without obstructions for the best signal. Outdoor use is
recommended for both the Host and Client antennas.
Mount your WiFi antenna (not included) in a good location with clear line of site to the
Host antenna. See connection instructions in E above.
Connect the 5-foot Ethernet Cable to your computer or a routerʼs internet port**.
Plug the Power Injector into 120V AC power (standard USA wall power outlet) using the
power cable.
