[QUOTE="jim0266, post: 215350"] The hardest part is determining which wires go in which slot. It can get tight by the last few wires as it's a lot of wiring in a small space. No need to strip the coating off the individual wires once you free them from the main jacket. When you use the tool to slide them in the slot the metal contacts on the jack slice thru the coating and hold the wires very tight. A finger nail clipper is a good tool to trim off the excess wire that hangs out the sides of the jack for a tidy job. I've played with the TrendNet WAP for a few hours and so far it seems like a good unit. I can get a strong signal on my 3rd floor when the unit is down on the first floor. The documentation is really poor and it's obvious it was translated into English. I was able to hack the basics and change the IP over to my network settings and a few other naming touches. But trying to set up WPA security has me very confused at the moment. [/QUOTE]
