Preparation
- Prepare the current wireless network password for setup.
- Make sure your current router works properly and supports a 2.4 GHz network.
- You will need a WiFi-supported device to set up the extender, such as a smartphone or laptop.
Installation
Note:
This device is intended to extend your wireless network coverage. It does not
help to improve the speed. The network speed is limited by the original
network and depends on different factors, such as signal strength, distance,
obstacles, etc.
- To set up, plug in your WiFi extender close to your wireless router. Wait for the power indicator to turn solid green.
- Search the WiFi network on your device named “wifi repeater-xxxxxx”, then connect to the extender network. If you can’t find the extender, reset the extender by using a pin to press the reset button and try again.
- A login page will show up automatically. You can also manually visit the login page from the web browser via: http://192.168.11.1 or http://myrepeater.net (Note: be sure your device is connected to the extender network when logging in).
- The default login details are as follows, in all lower-case letters
- Once logged in, you will enter the configuration page as follows, click the “Repeater mode” to continue the setup.
- Wait a moment to scan the wireless network nearby. Then, select your existing wireless network from the list and click “Scan AP” to refresh the list if you cannot find your existing WiFi network.
- Next, enter the password of your existing network and the name for the extender, then click “Save”. (Note: make sure you enter the correct password, otherwise the extender may not be able to connect to your wireless network.)
- The extender setup is complete and will reboot to the name you set. You may connect to the Extender SSID now, use the same password from the original network to log in.
Relocate
Once the setup is complete, you may relocate the WiFi extender in between the
wireless router and the place you will use it, in order to extend the
coverage. Wait for the WLAN indicator to turn solid green, then the network is
ready to use. Plug in the extender halfway between your router and the WiFi
dead zone. Wait for the WLAN LED to blink and the device is ready to connect
.
Factory reset
To reset to factory settings, use a pin to press the reset button for at least
8 seconds. Wait for the WLAN indicator switch off and turn solid green again.
The device will show up as “wifi repeater-xxxxxx” on the available WiFi
network on your device list.
Connect via LAN cable
Follow the installation instructions 1 – 7, then connect your device to the
LAN cable provided. The network is ready once the LAN indicator is solid green
.
Connect via WPS button
WPS is a faster method to connect your extender to the WiFi network. Make sure
your router supports WPS and has a button similar to the following icons.
Press the button on your router and then the extender within a short period of
time. Wait until you see the “xxxxxx_ext” on your nearby network, which means
that the setup is complete. The password is the same as your original router.
