Since my last review I have managed to get the 5.8GHz Airgrids working and have purchased more.

The problem is that initially the advice was to use an IP address of 192.168.1.20 and this did not work.I was not able to log on.
The way I resolved this was to connect my computer to my router (disable Wireless initially)
Then do an IP config to get the Computers IP address.

Then in Network Connections, choose Local area connection properties, and in Internet Protocol choose set a fixed IP address, Click use the Following IP address and then used the following:-

IP Address - use the IP address you saw ehen using IP Config
Subnet Mask this should then give 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - use 192.168.1.20

Preferred DNS Server - 192.168.1.20
Alternate GNS Server - leave blank

Then in Browser (I use Google Chrome) type 192.168.1.20 and you can then set up the Airgrid.

This is where 4Gon support is so good, I decided to set up an access point and a terminal for range testing.

in You Tubechoose configuring a simple bridged AP :-

worked first time was able to plug in to router and access point worked.

Then to set up a terminal again on You Tube I followed second part of You Tube:-
'Setting up a Simple Point to Point Link'

So I hope this helps others that my face the same initial issue I had,

Since the first review the 4 Gon Service has been second to none, I had a power lead missing on one Airgrid and it was with me the next day.
Now very pleased I persevered, now getting good results from my tests.
