Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter
Returning to Standard Operating Mode
When your LAN Party is over and you want to reconfigure
the Gaming Adapters, be sure to note that the procedure
is different for the Gaming Adapter designated as the
master and the other adapters.
Setting the Master Adapter Back to Wireless Bridge Mode
To return the Gaming Adapter designated as the master
back to Wireless Bridge Mode, access the web-based utility
of the master unit, and switch to Wireless Bridge mode. To
do this, perform the following steps:
Connect a computer to the Gaming Adapter designated
as the master.
Launch your web browser.
Enter the IP address of the master Adapter. The IP
address for the master adapter is 192.168.1.251.
NOTE: The Gaming Adapter IP address changes
from 192.168.1.250 to 192.168.1.251 when
LAN Party Gaming is enabled in the web-based
utility. This only applies to the adapter
designated as the master.
Login to the Gaming Adapter. The default user name
and password is admin.
Go to the Basic > Wireless screen.
Change the Wireless Network Mode option to Wireless
Bridge.
Click the Save Settings button.
Removing Non-Master Adapters from LAN Party Gaming Mode
To change a Gaming Adapter (non-master) back to
standard operating mode, you must press the Reset
button for approximately five seconds, using a pin or
straightened paper clip.
Reset Button
Upon release of the Reset button the Gaming Adapter will
restart and return to standard operating mode.
