Basic Installation Procedure

1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade Plus to 

your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the 

LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade Plus to your 

computer’s network adapter or to another network device. 

You can also connect the Wireless Barricade Plus to your PC (using a 

wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas 

on the back of the Wireless Barricade Plus into the desired positions. 

For more effective coverage, you may want to position one antenna 

along the vertical axis and the other antenna along the horizontal 

axis. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and 

thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along 

alternate axes.)

2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the 

Wireless Barricade Plus to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.

3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless Barricade Plus.
