Welcome to the Smart Setup Wizard
When the web menu appears, click Next to proceed
with the Smart Setup Wizard.
The diagram on this page displays the terms used to
describe:
1) The network you are trying to repeat (Home
Network).
2) The network that is rebroadcasted and
extended (Extended Network).
Study this diagram carefully as the terms used in the
following instructions will refer to these names.

Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless networks
to repeat.
Highlight your network and click Next to continue. Check that
your Wireless Network has a signal strength of 70% or
greater.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, or your signal
strength is below 70%, the Smart Repeater may be placed too
far from the wireless network that you are trying to repeat.
Move your Smart Repeater closer to the wireless network
that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.
The Scan results page will display information regarding the
name of the network (SSID), the channel which the wireless
network is operating on and the type of network that it is. AP stands for Access Point and is the standard type
of wireless network. The results page will also display whether or not your network has security and what the
signal strength is coming from each specific network detected.

Connecting to a Secure Network
If the wireless network you are trying to repeat has
wireless security enabled, you will be prompted to
enter a security key. If you did not select a secure
network, continue to the next step.
Enter the security key in the space provided. You do
not need to select what type of security it is, just
simply type in the key and click Next.
The Smart Setup Wizard will automatically detect your
home network’s security settings. If you do not know
the key to the network you are trying to repeat, then
click Back and select another network.

Repeater Settings (SSID)
The default SSID of the Smart Repeater is “Amped_SR”
This SSID for the Extended Network may be changed
by adjusting the name in the field for the Extended
Wireless Network ID.
This ID will be used by wireless users connecting to the
Smart Repeater to identify the Smart Repeater’s
Extended Network.
It is recommended to use the default settings.

Repeater Settings (Security)
By default, the Extended Network has security
enabled. The WPA security key is “wireless.” Users
trying to connect to the Smart Repeater wirelessly will
be prompted to enter this key.
It is recommended that you use the default settings for
the wireless security key.
To change the security key, simply retype your new
key in the field and click Next. Write your security key down somewhere safe for future reference.
No security key is necessary for computers connecting to the Smart Repeater using a wired connection to the
LAN ports.
After clicking Next, the Smart Repeater will reboot and apply your settings. Be patient and do not make any
changes or adjustments to the Smart Repeater at this time.

Setup Summary
Once the Smart Repeater has rebooted, it will load the
Setup Summary page and provide you with the details
of your setup.
At this time, you may disconnect from the Smart
Repeater and start a wireless connection.
If you have any wired devices that you would like to
attach to the Smart Repeater, you may do so now as
well.
Enjoy your Extended network!

If the Home/Office Network connection fails try the following…
a. Check to see that your Home Network security settings are correct.
b. Check on the SCAN page that your Home Network is showing a signal of 70% or greater. If not, move
the Smart Repeater closer to your Home Network router and try again.
c. Check that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled.
d. Try changing the channel of the Home Network router to a higher channel number (5-11) and run the
Setup Wizard again.
e. If possible, check the Internet connection for your Home Network wireless router. Connect directly to
your Home Network wireless router. If you are unable to access the internet through the Home
Network wireless router, you must first fix this problem. The Smart Repeater will not be able to
obtain internet access through a router that does not have internet access. Once Internet access is
restored, connect to the Smart Repeater again and retry the Smart Setup Wizard.
f. Return to the Smart Setup Wizard and attempt to connect to another Home Network known to have
Internet access.
g. Try to reboot (unplug the power from the Smart Repeater and plug it back in) the Smart Repeater and
check to see if the connection is established (some networks may be very slow and take longer than
the allotted time for the Smart Repeater to successfully connect).

Wireless Settings: Security
Wireless security allows you to change the type of
wireless security settings for your Extended Network
or your Home Network.
