System Requirements
Before installing the ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge, please make sure that these
minimum requirements have been met:
•
You must have a wireless network set up with either a wireless router or access point.
If the default settings on the bridge do not work, you will need to configure the bridge. To
configure the bridge with the configuration utility, you must have a personal computer with:
®
•
•
•
Windows 98 or 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP.
A CD-ROM drive.
2 Megabytes of free hard disk space.
If you don’t have a Windows-based computer or a CD-ROM drive, you may use a browser to
configure the bridge.
Preparing to Install the ME101
1
Placement and Range Guidelines
Computers and other Ethernet-enabled devices can connect over 802.11b wireless networks
indoors at a maximum range of approximately 500 feet. However, the operating distance or
range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical location of the
ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge. For best results, avoid potential sources of
interference, such as:
•
•
•
Large metal surfaces
Microwaves
2.4 GHz cordless phones
In general, 802.11b wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are
constructed with concrete or have metal (or metal mesh), the effective range will decrease if
such materials are between the wireless devices.
Operating Mode
The ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge operates only in infrastructure mode. In this mode
devices and computers communicate with each other by first going through a wireless router or
access point. For example, infrastructure mode is used when you have computers in a house
connected to an access point that is attached to a router. The router lets multiple computers
share a single cable or DSL broadband Internet connection.

ME101 Default Wireless Configuration Settings
Note: If you are setting up a new wireless network, please set up the network and make sure it
works before adding the ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge into the network.
You will need to identify the wireless configuration and security parameters already defined in
your wireless network.
Note: All NETGEAR, Inc. 802.11b wireless access products use the same factory settings as the
ME101 and will work without any configuration changes.
The factory default settings for your ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge are:
•
•
Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc): Infrastructure
Wireless network name Service Set Identification (SSID): Any
Note: Any means the bridge will connect to the first access point or wireless router that
responds to the bridge’s request for connection. This may not be the strongest signal or the
closest access point or router. For the ME101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge to communicate
with a specific wireless router or access point, both devices must be configured with the
same SSID.
•
•
•
•
•
User ID: admin
Password: password
Authentication type: Auto
WEP security: Disabled
Country/Region: U.S.A.
Warning: Having the bridge set to the wrong country or region may result in the violation
of local laws.

This section provides instructions for connecting the ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge
to any Ethernet-enabled device using the default settings.
Note: If you find that the default settings don’t work, if you know that you’ve configured your
wireless network with WEP security, or if you are not in the United States, you’ll have to
configure the bridge before connecting it to the Ethernet-enabled device. To configure the
bridge, see Configuring Your ME101 on page 6.
1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2. Identify a flat surface where you will put the wireless bridge. For best results, follow
these guidelines:
• Place it away from potential sources of interference, such as computers, monitors,
TVs, microwaves, cordless phones, or large metal surfaces.
Warning: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause intermittent or complete failure
of wireless connectivity.
• Place it in an elevated location such as a high shelf or on a wall in the center of
your wireless access area.
3. Lift the bridge’s antenna so it is vertical.

If the default settings don’t work in your wireless network, you need to configure the bridge.
Identifying the Wireless Network Name (SSID), IP Address,
and WEP Security Settings
You may want to print this page separately, fill in the configuration parameters, and put it in a
safe place for possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up
the network will be able to provide this information.
Note: For the access point or router and the bridge to communicate with each other, both must
be configured with the same SSID, WEP security settings, and the same IP subset address.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the
wireless local area network. Any is the default ME101 SSID. If you have named your
wireless network with a different SSID, write your network’s SSID on the line below.
Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________
•
Bridge IP Address: Your Ethernet network has an IP subset address given as a set of three
numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy) plus a last set of numbers to identify each device on the
network. The default IP address for the bridge is 192.168.0.200. To communicate to your
Ethernet network, the bridge must have an address consistent with your network’s IP
address. If you need to change the bridge’s IP address, write down the new address.
Bridge’s IP address: ______________________________
•
WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption mode of the bridge is
disabled. If you have set up WEP security on your wireless network (through the router or
access point), you’ll need to configure the bridge using the same WEP security parameters.
WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 40/64 or 128 bits
WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used in the router or access point: ___________________
A passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key.
Otherwise, you will have to manually enter up to four hexadecimal numbers.
WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
