Installation
Safety instructions
Do not install the device near heat sources or in places with ambient temperature below 5°C or
above 40°C.
Do not use the device in areas with high humidity.
Do not expose the device to smoke, dust, water, mechanical vibrations, or shock.
Do not open the device case. There are no user-serviceable items inside the device.
Installation recommendations
Before installing and turning on the device, check the device for visible mechanical damage. If
there is damage, stop installing the device, draw up a report and contact the supplier.
If the device has been kept at a low temperature for a long time, it should be kept at room
temperature for two hours before turning on and starting operation. After a long stay of the device
in high humidity conditions, keep it under normal conditions for at least 12 hours before turning
on.
The device is installed in a horizontal position, following the safety instructions.
When placing your device to provide the best Wi-Fi coverage, consider the following rules:
Install the device in the area of the router's wireless network;
Minimize the number of barriers (walls, ceilings, furniture, etc.) between RR-10, the router
and other wireless network devices;
Do not install the device near (about 2 m) electrical or radio devices;
It is not recommended to use radiotelephones and other equipment operating at the
frequency of 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, within the range of a Wi-Fi network;
Obstacles in the form of glass/metal structures, brick/concrete walls, as well as water tanks
and mirrors can significantly reduce the coverage of the Wi-Fi network.
Connecting RR-10 to a network
To extend Wi-Fi coverage area, connect RR-10 to the network of your router (or access point).
Method 1. UsingWPS button
Connect RR-10 to 220V power network through the power adapter near the Wi-Fi router (or access
point) you want to connect to.
Press WPS button on the Wi-Fi router.
Press and hold WPS button on RR-10 untill the indicator on the front panel is yellow. When RR-10 is
connected to the Internet, the indicator turns green.
In order to prevent overheating of the device components and disruption of its operation, it is
forbidden to place objects on the surface of the equipment.

Method 2. Via the web interface
Connect RR-10 to 220V power network through the power adapter near the Wi-Fi router (or access
point) you want to connect to.
Connect to RR-10 using smartphone or PC through Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable:
Through Wi-Fi: connect PC or smartphone to a Wi-Fi network of RR-10 — RR-WiFi-XXXX,
where XXXX is the last 4 characters of RR-10 MAC address, the MAC address is written on the
label on the device case.
Through Ethernet cable (only for PC): connect LAN port of RR-10 to LAN port of your PC
using Ethernet cable.
Open a web browser and type the address of the device to URL bar —http://rr.loc/orhttp://
192.168.0.1
Enter username and password to the authorization window. Default username and password are
admin and password correspondingly. Click «Log in».
Go to «Wi-Fi» tab, select needed frequency band and click «Wireless Scanner».
Select your Wi-Fi network in the displayed list and click on it. Use the password of your Wi-Fi
network to connect to it. Click «Apply».
Usually, you have 2 minutes after pressing WPS button on the router to press WPS on RR-10 for
successful connection.
The way of WPS connection may vary for different routers. Please, read the manual for your
router.
