4. Configuració i instal·lació
4.1 Instal·lació física
The WAVLINK N300 is designed for outdoor use and can be mounted on a pole or wall. Ensure the installation location provides optimal signal coverage and is within 150 meters of the desired coverage area. For best performance, install the product 2-3 meters above the ground.
Figure 4: Outdoor Installation and Environmental Protection
4.2 Connexió d'alimentació i xarxa
The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation. Connect the device to your network using the provided PoE adapter and Ethernet cable.
- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN/LAN (PoE) port on the Outdoor Access Point.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the "PoE" port on the PoE adapter.
- Connect another Ethernet cable from your modem/router to the "LAN Data In" port on the PoE adapter.
- Connect the power adapter to the PoE adapter and plug it into a power outlet.
Notes importants:
- The PoE adapter is NOT waterproof and must be installed indoors.
- Use a CAT5E or higher certified Ethernet cable for outdoor connections, ensuring it is shorter than 100 meters (328 feet) for optimal performance.

7. Solució De Problemes
7.1 Problemes comuns
- Sense energia: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the PoE adapter and a working power outlet. Check the Power LED on the device.
- Sense connexió a Internet: Verify that the Ethernet cable from your modem/router is correctly connected to the "LAN Data In" port of the PoE adapter. Check the WAN/LAN LED. Ensure your modem/router is functioning correctly.
- Weak Signal or Limited Range:
- Ensure the device is installed 2-3 meters above ground and has a clear line of sight to the desired coverage area.
- Obstacles like walls, trees, and other electronic devices can significantly reduce wireless range.
- The stated outdoor range of 150m can vary significantly based on the actual environment, including interference and physical obstructions.
- Check the Signal LEDs on the device to gauge signal strength.
- No es pot accedir Web Interfície:
- Ensure your computer is connected to the device's network (either via Wi-Fi or directly via Ethernet).
- Verify that you are using the correct default IP address (192.168.10.1) and password (admin).
- If you have changed the IP address and forgotten it, you may need to perform a factory reset by holding the Reset button for 8 seconds.
