Plug the power adapter into the device’s 5V power port, plug the adapter into a wall socket or available USB port, and press the power on/off button to switch the device on. The CV-7438nDM may take several minutes to boot up – the device is ready when the LED is flashing (red). The CV-7438nDM requires 1 A of current – please ensure that your USB port can provide sufficient power.
2. Use a Wi-Fi device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) to search for a Wi-Fi network with the SSID “Edimaxcv.Setup” and connect to it. 3. Open a web browser and enter the URL http://edimaxcv.setup and you will see the following screen. Please click “Get Started”. If you can’t access http://edimaxcv.setup please make sure your wireless device/computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. For more information, refer to the user manual. You can also use the wireless bridge’s default IP address http://192.
4. iQ Setup will display all available 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. Click the icons to display the next or previous page as desired. Select a network for the wireless bridge to connect to and click “Next”. If the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to does not appear, try clicking “Refresh”. If you use a hidden network, to connect to a hidden SSID, check the “Connect to a hidden network manually” box and enter the SSID and security key information.
5. Please wait while the wireless bridge tests the connection. 6. When the connection test is complete, you will see the following screen. Check the details of your connection and click “Apply” to restart the CV-7438nDM and continue. If the wireless bridge cannot obtain an IP address from the router/access point then click the “Static IP” button to assign an IP address to the wireless bridge and then click “APPLY”. Please refer to the user manual for more guidance.
7. A congratulations screen will confirm your wireless bridge has established a connection. If you do not see the congratulations screen shown above, check the LED: if the LED displays on (white) then the wireless bridge has successfully established a connection. Continue to III. Using the CV-7438nDM. When the Wi-Fi bridge’s LED displays on (white), the wireless bridge is now ready for use with audio speakers or Ethernet devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes or game consoles. Please see III.
2. Press and hold the WPS button on your wireless router/access point for the correct length of time to activate its WPS. Please check the instructions for your wireless router/access point to confirm how long you need to hold down its WPS button to activate WPS for 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Some brands of router/access point may not support WPS for 5GHz – in this case, please refer to II-1. iQ Setup instead. 3.
Your wireless bridge is now ready for use with audio speakers or Ethernet devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes or game consoles. Please see III. Using the CV-7438nDM.
