SETUP GUIDE
Find a Setup Location
The location of where you install the Dual Band Repeater is very important to how it will function. The optimal
setup location should be somewhere no more than halfway between your wireless router and your wireless
dead zone.

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:
1) Home/Office Network: The existing network
you are trying to repeat.
2) 2.4GHz/5.0GHz Extended Network: The
extended network (amplified and
rebroadcasted network).
The terms above are used throughout the installation
process to describe your Home Network and the
Extended Network.

Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless networks to
repeat. The Scan result will list all available 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz
wireless networks detected by the Dual Band Repeater – including
each network name (SSID), the operating channel, the type of
security and the signal strength.
If you are extending a dual band router, you will need to select the
SSID of your 2.4GHz network and the SSID of your 5.0GHz network.
The signal strength indicates the wireless connection between that
network and the Dual Band Repeater. It is important to choose
networks that are greater than 70%. A wireless network with a
signal strength of less than 70% may create a poor connection
which results in slower throughput and frequent dropped
connections.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, or your signal strength is below 70%, try moving the Dual Band
Repeater closer to the wireless network that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.

Once you have selected your wireless network(s), click Next to continue. If you are only connecting to one
network, simply select that 2.4 or 5.0GHz network and click Next to continue.

Connecting to a Secure Network
If the wireless network(s) you are trying to repeat has
wireless security enabled, you will be prompted to
enter a security key. If you are repeating a dual band
router, you will need to enter the security key for both
the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz network. If either network
does not have security, leave the field blank.
After you have entered the security key(s), click Next
to continue.
If you do not know the key to the network you are
trying to repeat, then click Back and select another
network.

Extended Network Settings (SSID and Security)
The default SSID of the Dual Band Repeater is
“Amped_Rep_2.4GHz” and “Amped_Rep_5.0GHz”
To change it, enter a new name in the SSID field. Users
connecting wirelessly to the Dual Band Repeater will
use this ID to identify your Extended Network.
Configure the settings for your Extended Networks
here.
Depending on the capabilities of your wireless adapter,
you may connect to either the 2.4 or 5.0GHz Extended
Networks.

The default Security Key (WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode)
of your Extended Network(s) is: wireless
To change it, enter a new key in the Security Key field.
The key must be a minimum of 8 characters.
No security key is necessary for computers connecting
to the Dual Band Repeater using a wired connection to the LAN ports.
Click Next to complete the setup process. The Dual Band Repeater will reboot and apply your settings. Be
patient and do not make any changes or adjustments to the Dual Band Repeater at this time.

Setup Summary
Once the Dual Band Repeater has rebooted, it will load the Setup Summary page and provide you with the
details of your setup.
Congratulations, the Dual Band Repeater is now successfully configured. Your
settings are now saved.
Print the Setup Summary details and save it for future reference.
At this time, you may disconnect from the Dual Band Repeater and start a
wireless connection.
If you have any wired devices that you would like to attach to the Dual Band
Repeater, you may do so now.
If you haven’t already positioned your Dual Band Repeater in an optimal
location, you may do so. All Repeater settings are saved and can be safely
powered off for relocation.
Enjoy your Extended network!

If the Home/Office Network connection fails try the following…
The failed connection page will provide you with information on why the connection failed. Read the
instructions carefully and retry your connection. The tips below will help to solve common issues:
a. Check to make sure your Home Network security settings are correct.
b. On the SCAN page, check that your Home Network is showing a signal of 70% or greater. If not, move
the Dual Band Repeater closer to your Home Network router and try again. If you are connecting to a
dual band router, ensure that both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz networks show a signal strength of 70% or
greater.
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. Check the internet connection on your Home Network wireless router. Connect directly to your router
and attempt to access the web. If this fails, the problem is with your internet connection. Contact
your broadband provider to fix this issue first before configuring the repeater.
f. Try to reboot (unplug the power from the Dual Band Repeater and plug it back in) the Dual Band
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 Dual Band Repeater to successfully connect).

5.0GHz WI-FI SETTINGS
5.0GHz Wi-Fi Settings: Home Network Settings (5.0GHz)
The Home Network Settings (5.0GHz) page allows you to adjust settings
for your 5.0GHz Home Network connection. These settings are for
adjusting the Dual Band Repeater’s Home Network connection after you
have already gone through the Smart Setup Wizard and wish to adjust
your current configurations.
Home Network SSID (5.0GHz): Manually enter the Identification name of
the existing 5.0GHz Home Network you wish to connect to.
Channel Number: Enter the channel number of the Home Network. If the
channel number does not match, a connection will not be established.
Channel Width: Wi-Fi operates in two separate channel widths, 20Hz and 40Hz. 40Hz allows for faster speeds.
Each Channel Width will have a different selection of wireless channels to choose from. Select the channel
width you wish to use for your network. This setting must match that of your Home Network for a successful
connection.
