WiFiMax™
Wi-Fi Extender KWM1000
(included with KS1000)
The KING WiFiMax creates your own private and secure Wi-Fi network, just like you have in your home. When in range of an available network simply configure your wifi max to connect to that network, and it will extend the internet access from that network to your own private Wi-Fi network.
SWIFT™
Omnidirectional Wi-Fi Antenna KS1000
(not included with KWM1000)
KING Swift is an omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna that increases the range and performance of your KING WiFiMax router and range extender. This 2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna mounts to your roof to connect to your KING WiFiMax via a single cable and allows your KING WiFiMax to connect to networks from even farther away and still utilize its 5GHz network for the fastest speeds.

smartphone or tablet’s cellular network be turned off during standard
operation.
-
Go to your phone, tablet, or computer’s settings page and connect to the Wi-Fi Network with your personalized network name (you created this on page 6).
The example shown is
“MyWiFiName_5G”.
If your device cannot connect to your 5G network, connect to your other network.
****For best performance, choose the 5GHz network whenever possible. -
Open your device’s web browser. Go to: http://mykingwifi.com
Type exactly as written.
-
Tap “Wireless Repeating.”

-
Select the network you would like to extend (not your customized router name) and input the password if necessary (not pictured).
Tap “Save.” -
This popup should appear. Tap “OK.”
-
Your KING WiFiMax will reboot.
If your router gets stuck at 100% and won’t finish rebooting or if your Wi-Fi device does not have internet access, you may need to go back to your smartphone or tablet’s settings page and ensure that it reconnected to the Wi- Fi network with your personalized network name, as you may lose connection during the router’s rebooting process.
Your KING WiFiMax is now extending your network!
If you turned off your cellular network during standard operation, it is now
safe to turn it back on.
INSTALLATION
• For best performance, the antenna should be located as far away as possible
from other rooftop objects (TV antennas, AC units, etc.) and with the best
all-around line of sight.
• When determining locations, make sure the long cable will reach the KING
WiFiMax when attached to the KING Swift cable. (KING Swift cable may go
directly to prewire
enclosure – see opposite page).
• Do not locate the KING WiFiMax or KING Swift in a slide-out.
• Cable connection between KING Swift and long cable must always be inside the
vehicle (or prewire enclosure if using).
-
Drill a 5/16” hole in the roof where the cable will enter the roof. Feed the long cable into position with enough cable sticking out of the roof to attach the KING Swift cable. This end is marked “ROOF” and is red.
-
Connect KING Swift cable and long cable.
-
Apply roof-compatible sealant around the perimeter of the bracket. Feed the cable into the hole, lower bracket into position, and fasten to the roof. sealfastenerheadsandcablehole in roof
-
Inside vehicle, install wall plate if desired, and connect the cable to KING WiFiMax.
Prewire connections with OEM installed prewire enclosure
- Remove (4) screws and take off the prewire cap. Prewire cap
- Knock out the hole for the watertight connector. watertight connector
- Take the nut off the watertight connector.
- Feed the cable through the connector. prewire cap and nut.
- Install the connector in the prewire cap with the nut.
- Feed desired amount of cable through the connector and tighten the connector’s sealing nut.
- Connect the two cables.
- Replace the prewire cap and fasten with (4) screws
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN SCREWS INTO PLASTIC.
A cable connection must be made inside the enclosure, NOT ON ROOF!
IMPORTANT!
The installer is responsible for determining and supplying the most
appropriate fasteners to secure the bracket to the roof.
All holes, fastener heads, and the entire perimeter of the bracket must be
completely sealed and weatherproofed with roof-compatible sealant.
If there is a prewired
enclosure on the roof, you will find a preinstalled wall plate in the vehicle.
Remove this wall plate and install the included black or white wall plate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The KING WiFiMax doesn’t power on (no blue lights on front).
Make sure the power supply plug is securely inserted into the back of KING
WiFiMax. Make sure the power supply is plugged into a known good power outlet.
I can’t find the network KING_XXXXXX 5G or KINGJXXXXX.
Make sure your KING WiFiMax is plugged in. It may take up to a minute for
these networks to appear. Some older devices may be unable to see the 5GHz
network. This is completely okay; just use the KINGXXXXXX network.
I can’t connect to mykingwifi.com
Make sure you are connected to your KING WiFiMax’s network. Then make sure you
type in the web address exactly as it appears in this manual:
http://mykingwifi.com.
_ I can’t enter a password in the designated box.
Choose WPANVPA2-PSK under –Encryption Mode” (right above the password box)
to enable password protection.
I don’t see the Upstream VViFi name I want to extend in my list of
networks.
If a network is very far away or very weak. the KING WiFiMax may not be
able to see it. or may not offer it as an option. Try scanning again for
networks by clicking on the blue circular arrows. If your network is still not
offered as an option, try moving your KING WiFiMax to a location closer to
your desired network.
When my router reboots, it gets stuck at 100% and won’t finish rebooting.
Try reloading the page. If the page won’t load, make sure your device is
still connected to the KING WiFiMax. It may have disconnected during the
reboot.
The KING WiFiMax doesn’t seem to extend the range of my Wifi or has
trouble picking up signals from my source.
Make sure all 4 antennas (3 if KING Swift is connected) are pointing up. If
wall mounting, antennas must be rotated to point up as well.
Certain types of obstructions (other vehicles, buildings, or large amounts of
metal) can reduce signal levels. Try relocating the KING WiFiMax.
NOTE: KING WiFiMax can be reset by pressing and holding the reset button
until the front lights go out (15-20 seconds).
