Questions and answers
Hi, How do I connect a hard wired ( CAT 5 RJ45 )repeater to sit in another building
To connect a Technicolor DWA0120 as a wired repeater in another building using a CAT5 RJ45 cable, follow these steps:
1. Use a Fully Wired Ethernet Cable: Ensure the cable is a fully wired CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cable for proper connectivity.
2. Connect the Cable to a LAN Port: Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the main router.
3. Extend to the Other Building: Run the Ethernet cable to the other building.
4. Connect to the DWA0120 LAN Port: Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN port on the DWA0120.
5. Disable DHCP on the DWA0120: Access the DWA0120 settings and disable DHCP to avoid IP conflicts.
6. Set a Static IP Address: Assign a static IP address to the DWA0120 within the main router’s network range.
7. Configure Wi-Fi and Network Settings: Set the same SSID and password as the main router for seamless roaming or configure as needed.
This setup allows the DWA0120 to act as an access point, extending the network to the other building.
