WPS - Method:
You can also use the WPS function as an alternative Set-up
method, if you have a WPS button available on your primary
router.
Hold the WPS button of your Primary Router/WiFi AP till the
WPS LED starts blinking.
Press and hold the WPS 3 seconds on the Rear Panel.
Once WPS light starts blinking on it as well, please wait for a
minute for The primary router/AP and the Extender Coredy
CX-E120 to pair up and then connect to the "Coredy
CX-E120_2.4G _EXT or Coredy CX-E120_5G _EXT" SSID
in your Smart Phone using your primary router's WIFI
password.
Password/WIFI Key/Security key column and click on
"Apply"
7. In the next window, you'll see the reboot process with a
Bar. When the Bar reaches 100%, (Leave the device for
1 minute to let it reboot itself).
8. Open the list of available networks again using your
smartphone. Find out the New SSID "Coredy
CX-E120_2.4G _EXT or Coredy CX-E120_5G _EXT"
and connect with it using the same password as of your
primary router/AP.
9. If the internet works, unplug Coredy CX-E120 and plug
it halfway between your Router and the Device intended
for the internet usage/dead zones in your home where
you were getting low to no WIFI signals.

Package Contents:
Front Panel
The Coredy CX-E120 WiFi Range Extender is a network
device with multifunction, which can be using for increasing
the distance of a WiFi network by boosting the existing WiFi
signal and enhancing the overall signal quality over long
distances. An extender repeats the signals from an existing
WiFi router or access point.
The Coredy CX-E120 WiFi Range Extender also can be
used as an Access Point or Router.

When to Use Your Extender
We recommend that you connect through the extender
network only when the WiFi device is in a “dead zone”
where connection from the existing network is poor or
nonexistent. Data traffic routed through the extender is
inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the
network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or
a WiFi access point) and a WiFi device outside the range
of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing
network, it functions as a network client, similar to how a
WiFi device connects to a network.
Using as a Extender
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi
devices can join. In its role as an access point, the
extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as
broadcasting its network name (SSID).
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both
ends of the bridge are in place.

07
Turn the Power On/Off button to “On” and Mode
Switch Button to “Repeater” on the side of the
extender, plug the extender into an electrical outlet,
place your extender in the same room as your WiFi
router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the
initial setup process.

To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must
connect the extender to your existing WiFi network.
You can do this in one of two ways:
Method 1. Connect with a web browser.
Method 2. Connect with WPS. For more
information, see Method 2: Connect with WPS.
For more on page 11.

2. Launch a web browser, enter http://192.168.10.1/ or
http://ap.setup/ in the address field of the web browser,
when prompted, enter admin for the user name and
admin for the password, both in lowercase letters.

5. In the Key (Network password) field, type the existing WiFi
network password (also called the passphrase or security
key) and click the Apply button, wait 1 minute to reboot the
extender.
Note: Click the Refresh button if the wireless Network list
couldn't loads completely or successfully.
7. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is
about halfway between your router and the area with a
poor router WiFi signal.
6. Find and connect to the new extended WiFi network on
your computer or WiFi device.
The extender creates a new extended WiFi network. The
extender’s new WiFi network name is “Coredy
CX-E120_2.4G_EXT”, use the same WiFi password that
you use for your WiFi router.
Note: If the extender doesn’t connect to the router, the
WLAN LED 1 keeps blinking and the extender’s new WiFi
network name doesn’t change to “Coredy
CX-E120_2.4G_EXT” .
If the WLAN LED 1 keeps blinking and the extender’s new
WiFi network name change to “Coredy
CX-E120_2.4G_EXT” , you might type the incorrect
password during on step 5.

9. If only the WLAN LED 1 light amber , plug the extender into
an outlet closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router
until the WLAN LED 1 , LED 2 and LED 3 light amber
simultaneously.
Note: Place the extender in an elevated location and
minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the
router and your other devices.
8. Use the WLAN LED 1 – LED 3 to help you choose a spot
where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of
your existing WiFi router network.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure
WiFi network without typing the network name and
password.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If
you are using WEP security, follow the instructions in
Method 1: Connect with a web browser on page 8.
Method 2: Connect with WPS

12
1. Press the WPS button on the front panel of the extender.
The WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router
or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network
successful, the extender's new WiFi network name will
change to “Coredy CX-E120_2.4G_EXT", and the WLAN
LED1 - LED 3 will light amber (check the WLAN LED
Descriptions on Page 2), confirm it on your computer or
WiFi device.
If the extender could not connect to your existing WiFi
network, try again. If it still does not work, see Method 1:
Connect with a web browser on page 8.
3. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is
about halfway between your router and the area with a
poor router WiFi signal.
4. Use the WLAN LED 1 – LED 3 to help you choose a spot
where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
5. If only the WLAN LED 1 light amber , plug the extender into
an outlet closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router
until the WLAN LED 1 , LED 2 and LED 3 light amber
simultaneously.
The location that you choose must be within the range of
your existing WiFi router network.

Using as a Access Point
The Coredy CX-E120 WiFi Range Extender also can be
used as an Access Point, An access point receives data by
wired Ethernet (such as hotel’s wired Ethernet), and
converts to a 2.4Gig Hz wireless signal. It sends and
receives wireless traffic to and from nearby wireless clients.
