1. Make sure that the DST adapter is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer .
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the DST adapter.
Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on
your computer page to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.
Connect to the DST Adapter Network With a WiFi Connection
If you updated the DST adapter’s WiFi settings using the DST router’s installation assistant,
the DST adapter’s WiFi settings are based on the DST router’s WiFi settings. If you did not
update the DST adapter’s WiFi settings yet, launch a web brower to display the DST router’s
and DST adapter’s WiFi settings.
If you want to manually update the DST adapter’s WiFi settings, log in to the DST router. For
more information, see Update the DST Adapter’s WiFi Settings From the DST Router on
page 31.

To manually find and select the DST adapter WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the DST adapter is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. On the WiFi device that you want to connect to your DST adapter, open the software
application that manages your WiFi connections.
This software scans for all WiFi networks in your area.
3. Look for the DST adapter’s WiFi network name (SSID) and select it.
The DST adapter’s WiFi network name is based on the DST router’s SSID with _EXT
added at the end of the name. If more than one DST adapter is connected to the DST
router, for every additional DST adapter after the first, a number is added before _EXT.

Your WiFi device connects to the WiFi network.
Connect to the DST Adapter Network With a WPS Connection
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easily adding computers and other devices to
a home network while maintaining security. To use WPS (Push 'N' Connect), make sure that
all WiFi devices to be connected to the network are Wi-Fi certified and support WPS. During
the connection process, the client gets the security settings from the DST router so that every
device in the network supports the same security settings.
To use WPS to connect to the DST adapter’s WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the DST router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
3. Press and hold the WPS and DST Router Sync button on the DST adapter for two
seconds.
The WiFi LED on the DST adapter blinks.
4. WPSWithin two minutes, press the button on your WiFi device (such as a computer, tablet,
or smartphone).
When the WiFi LED stops blinking, your computer or WiFi device is automatically
connected to the DST adapter and you can access the Internet from your computer or
WiFi device.
Note: Make sure that your WiFi device is in the same room as the DST
adapter that you are connecting to.

Enable Wireless Access Point (2.4 GHz). When this check box is selected, the DST
adapter allows WiFi connections in the 2.4 GHz band. Clearing this check box
prevents WiFi devices from connecting to the DST adapter in the 2.4 GHz band. LAN
devices can still connect to the DST adapter over an Ethernet cable.
Enable SSID Broadcast (2.4 GHz). When this check box is selected, the DST
adapter broadcasts its WiFi network name (SSID) for the 2.4 GHz band. Clearing this
check box hides the DST adapter’s 2.4 GHz network name. In such a situation, this
network name does not display in a WiFi network manager. A user who wants to join
this hidden network must know its network name.
Enable 20/40 MHz Coexistence (2.4 GHz). The DST adapter 2.4 GHz WiFi network
can run in either 40 MHz mode or 20 MHz mode. When this check box is selected, the
DST adapter uses 40 MHz mode unless a nearby WiFi network is using 20 MHz
mode. If that happens, the DST adapter uses 20 MHz mode to coexist with that
network.
Enable Wireless Access Point (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the DST
adapter allows WiFi connections in the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box prevents
WiFi devices from connecting to the DST adapter in the 5 GHz band. LAN devices
can still connect to the DST adapter over an Ethernet cable.
Enable SSID Broadcast (5 GHz). When this check box is selected, the DST adapter
broadcasts its WiFi network name (SSID) for the 5 GHz band. Clearing this check box

Set Up a WiFi Access List for the DST Adapter
By default, any WiFi device that is configured with the correct network name (SSID) can
access the DST adapter’s WiFi networks. For increased security, you can restrict access to
the DST adapter’s WiFi networks so that only WiFi devices with the MAC addresses that you
add to an access list can connect.
Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, separated by colons (for
example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the WiFi device.
If you cannot access the label, you can display the MAC address using the network
configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC addresses on the
Attached Devices page (see View Wired and WiFi Network Devices Connected to the DST
Adapter on page 43).

6. DST Adapter Troubleshooting
You can take various steps to diagnose and solve problems that you might encounter.
The first step in troubleshooting your DST adapter is to check the LEDs. After you plug in the
DST adapter, the following sequence of events occurs:
1. The Power LED lights.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify the following:
The Power LED is solid green. The device is powered on.
If the device is connected to a Powerline network, the Pick A Plug LED is lit.
If the Powerline device is connected through the Ethernet port to a powered-on
Ethernet device, the Ethernet LED is lit.
If no LEDs are lit, see LEDs Are Off When the DST Adapter Is Plugged In .
If the Power LED is not lit, see .Power LED Is Off
If the Pick A Plug LED is not lit, see DST LED Is Off, Amber, or Red .
If the Ethernet LED is not lit, see .Ethernet LED Is Off

Nighthawk DST AC1900 DST Router and DST Adpater Model R7300DST
LEDs Are Off When the DST Adapter Is Plugged In
A common reason the LEDs are off is that power is not being provided to the DST adapter.
Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet, and that the DST adapter is not
plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
Power LED Is Off
If the Power LED is off, the adapter is not receiving electrical power. You can try various
troubleshooting tips:
Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet.
Press the Factory Reset button on the DST adapter for two seconds to return the device
to its factory default settings.
DST LED Is Off, Amber, or Red
If the DST LED is off, you can try various troubleshooting tips.
If the DST LED is off, the DST adapters cannot find the DST router or other DST adapters.
Try these troubleshooting tips:
Make sure that the DST adapters and DST router are plugged into wall outlets with power
and that they use the same network encryption key.
Move a DST adapter to an outlet that is closer to the computer or other devices.
If you set a private encryption key, make sure that all DST adapters and the DST router
are using the same encryption key.
If the problem occurred after you set the encryption key, reset each device to its factory
default settings.
Then try setting the encryption key again.
If the LED is amber or red, move the DST adapter to another electrical outlet with a faster
connection.
Ethernet LED Is Off
If the Ethernet LED is off, the Ethernet port on the DST adapter is not linked. You can try
various troubleshooting tips.
If your DST adapter is connected to a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or other
peripheral device, check the following:
The peripheral device is turned on.
The DST adapter is securely connected to the peripheral device using an Ethernet cable.
