Wireless Bridge Setup and Manual Pairing

Please note that iiNet Wireless Bridges are no longer sold as of 16 August 2017.

Before you get started

• Both units must be placed upright.
• Ideally, both units should be placed at least 1 to 2 metres above the ground, away from major obstacles and large metal items and with as few walls as possible between them.
• Do not place the units on a metal surface or in an enclosure (e.g. cupboards) as this will cause interference with the WiFi signal.
• Do not connect both units to the same router at the same time. There is no reason to do this, but if it is done, you'll need to restart all of your equipment.
