What you’ll find in the box

Overview

Placement of the Lorex Home Center Extender

Based on factors such as the distance between your devices, the size of your home, environmental conditions, physical obstructions, and how much frequency interference there is in your area, here are some placement recommendations for the extender/repeater.

Find a central location.

• The ideal location to place the extender/repeater is halfway between your Lorex Home Center and your other Lorex device(s) that need better Wi-Fi.
• Look for a power outlet that’s roughly halfway between your Lorex Home Center and your other Lorex device(s).
  

Placement of the Lorex Home Center Extender

• Limit the number of walls, ceilings, and other major obstructions between the extender/ repeater and your other Lorex device(s).
• Make sure that the outlet that you choose has a strong Wi-Fi signal from your home router.

Device Setup

Attention: Setup the Lorex Home Center before going through these steps.

1. Plug the USB power cable into the extender/repeater. Then plug the power adapter into a wall outlet to power on.
   Note: The LED light will flash blue when ready to pair.
   

2. Unlock the Lorex Home Center and tap on Device Manager on the home screen .

3. Go to the Repeater tab, then tap + on the top right to pair.

4. In the Device Setup screen, tap Repeater and tap Next.

5. Once your device has been detected, tap Next.
   The Lorex Home Center will now display the extender/repeater on your home screen.

Device Settings

You can view the extender/repeater’s device information or configure the settings for sound, LED light status, and firmware updates, all through the Lorex Home Center.

To open the extender/repeater’s Device Settings:

1. Unlock your Lorex Home Center and tap the extender/repeater displayed on the home screen.
2. In the extender/repeater’s device screen, tap the three dots on the top for settings.
   

Sound Settings

There are two audio options that can be enabled or disabled in the extender/repeater’s sound settings.

1. Event Notification Chime: The extender/repeater will sound the event notification chime when a camera has detected motion or a sensor has been triggered. The chime is disabled by default.
2. Doorbell Chime: When someone rings the doorbell, the extender/repeater will sound the doorbell chime. The chime is enabled by default.
   Note: You must have a Lorex doorbell connected to the Lorex Home Center for this option.

Troubleshooting

1. After installing the extender/repeater, I still have low signal strength on my camera(s).
   Make sure that your faraway camera(s) are connected to the extender/repeater directly. To check this, go to the Lorex Home Center’s Device Manager settings from the home screen and see if your camera(s) are still connected. If you’re finding that your camera(s) are still connected to the Lorex
   Home Center and not to the extender/repeater, then you will need to do the following:
   1. Power off the camera(s) with low Wi-Fi signal strength.
   2. Make sure the extender/repeater is powered on and connected to the Lorex Home Center.
   3. Power the camera(s) back on.
   Your camera(s) should now automatically connect to the extender/repeater as long as the signal from the extender/repeater is stronger than the signal from the Lorex  Home Center. If you are still having trouble, consider moving the extender/repeater closer to the camera(s).

2. The extender/repeater is showing low signal strength. How do I fix this?
   Go to the page “Placement of the Lorex Home Center Extender” on this quick start guide for optimal placement recommendations.

3. How do I reset the extender/repeater?
   Press and hold down the reset button on the back of the extender/repeater for about 10 seconds until you hear the chime. The extender/repeater will then reset and the  LED light status will flash blue to indicate that it’s ready to pair to your Lorex Home Center.
