Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless
networks to repeat.
Highlight your network and click Next to continue.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, the Pro Smart
Repeater may be placed too far from the wireless network
that you are trying to repeat. Move your Pro 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 wireless channel and
the network details. 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. Ensure that the network you are repeating has a signal strength of at least 70%. If
it does not, reorient the Pro Smart Repeater or your wireless router to achieve a signal strength of 70% or
greater.

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 take care
of the rest. If the key you entered is incorrect it will
prompt you to enter the key again. If you do not
know the key to the network you are trying to repeat, then click Back and select another network.
