Chapter 2: Plan Your Wireless Network  
Before you begin configuring your HWUR54G Wireless Range Extender, it  
is important that you determine where it fits within your wireless network.  
A wireless network consists of computers (Desktops or Laptops) with  
wireless network adapters installed. Computers within a wireless network  
are connected with a local wireless access point that handles all wireless  
communications between the computers and the internet.  
The HWUR54G Wireless Range Extender must be placed within your  
wireless network. If it is placed too far from your wireless network it will  
not receive a strong enough signal to repeat properly. Ensure that the  
selected placement of the Wireless Range Extender is not too far from the  
original Access Point. (Indoor: approx 50 – 150 feet)  
This diagram may help you determine how the Wireless Range Extender  
works within a wireless network.

You may also connect the HWUR54G to an open LAN port on your network. After  
you have finished configuring your Range Extender (the following steps will help  
you configure your Range Extender) you must disconnect it from your network or  
PC and place it in any location that requires extended wireless coverage (must still  
be in wireless proximity of your original wireless network):

4-7 ADVANCED SETINGS  
Parameter  
Description  
Beacon Interval (20-1000)  
The period of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is  
used to synchronize the wireless network.  
RTS Threshold (256-2432)  
DTIM Period (1-255)  
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will  
not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.  
This is the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A  
DTIM field is a countdown field informing stations of the next window for  
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point  
has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated stations, it  
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Stations for the Access  
Point hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and  
multicast messages.

Chapter 8: FINDING THE RIGHT LOCATION –  
PLACING THE WIRELESS RANGE EXTENDER  
WITHIN YOUR NETWORK  
1) After you have completely configured your Range Extender you  
can disconnect the Ethernet cable that connects the Extender to your  
network or PC for configuration.  
2) Take the Range Extender and Power Adapter and place the  
Extender in a location half way between your original Access Point  
and the area that you are extending your wireless coverage to. See  
the image below for more details:  
3) Once you have  
located a good  
location, plug the  
power adapter into an  
available power outlet  
and view the LEDs on  
the Range Extender. If  
the Range Extender is  
working the WLAN  
light should be blinking  
repeatedly and the  
PWR LED should  
remain on constantly.  
4) Test the Range Extender by connecting to it wirelessly with a  
wireless enabled computer. Give the computer 15 seconds to obtain  
information from the Range Extender after associating to the Range  
Extender’s SSID. Open your web browser and enter  
www.hawkingtech.com into the web address bar. If the page loads  
your Wireless Range Extender is working correctly. If not please  
check the troubleshooting section or reconfigure your Wireless Range  
Extender.

Chapter 9: TROUBLESHOOTING  
This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the  
installation and operation of the Access Point.  
1. How do I manually find the PC’s IP and MAC Address?  
1) In Windows, open the Command Prompt program  
2) Type Ipconfig /all and Enter  
1
2
Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address  
Your PC’s MAC Address is the one entitled Physical Address  
2. What is BSS ID?  
A group of wireless stations and an Access Point compose a Basic  
Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the  
same BSSID.  
3. What is ESSID?  
An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability  
for mobile workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an  
Extended Service Set (ESS). Users within an ESS could roam freely  
between BSSs while maintaining a continuous connection to the  
wireless network stations and the Wireless LAN Access Points.  
4. Can data be intercepted while transmitting through the air?  
WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side,  
as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent  
scrambling security feature. On the software side, the WLAN series  
offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access  
control.

5. What is WEP?  
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism  
based on a 64(40)-bit shared key algorithm.  
6. What is a MAC Address?  
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned  
by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a  
network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware  
level. For all practical purposes, this number is usually permanent.  
Unlike IP addresses which can change every time a computer logs on to  
the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a  
valuable identifier for the network.  
7. I Can’t Pull up the Web Menu Screen?  
In order to pull up the Web Based Configuration Menu your computer  
must be in the same IP subnet as your Range Extender. For example, if  
your PC’s IP configuration is the following:  
IP: 192.168.0.5 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1  
Then your Range Extender LAN IP address must be:  
IP: 192.168.0.? (any # except 1 and 5) Subnet 255.255.255.0  
Gateway: 192.168.0.1  
Once these values match you should be able to pull up the Web Menu.  
8. I Can’t Connect to the Wireless Repeater or the Internet  
Make sure that all your settings are correct on the Range Extender.  
Remember that the Original SSID must match the SSID of your original  
network. The channel number of the extender must also match that of  
your original network. For example, if your original network had the  
following settings:  
SSID: HawkingAP  
Channel: 6  
LAN IP: 192.168.1.2  
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0  
Then the settings of your Range Extender must be:  
Original SSID: HawkingAP  
28  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Channel: 6  
SSID of Range Extender: (any SSID other than HawkingAP)  
LAN IP: 192.168.1.x (any number other than 2)  
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0  
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.2  
After you have matched the settings check if you can connect to the  
internet through the Wireless Range Extender. If you still cannot access  
the internet please contact our technical support department using the  
number below.  
If you have any further questions please contact our Toll Free Technical  
Support department at: 800-756-7832 or email  
Thank you for purchasing the Hawking Wireless-G Range Extender.
