2.0 Where to place the EM4594 repeater?
The best location to place the EM4594 is approximately half-way between your
wireless modem/router and your Wi-Fi client (laptop/smartphone/tablet) which
has/have the weakest wireless reception. This way, the signal strength will be as good
as possible.
Hint: Before placing the EM4594 on its destined location, the device needs to be
setup. Setting up the EM4594 wireless repeater can be done best, if the EM4594 is
located near your wireless modem/router. After setting up the EM4594, you can place
the EM4594 at a location defined by using the signal indicator LEDs and the
recommended setup as described previously.
3.0 Connecting the EM4594 to your
modem/router
There are three different ways to connect your EM4594 to your modem/router.
3.1 Configure the wireless repeater using the WPS button
1. Please check if your wireless modem/router has a WPS button. Also check
whether your wireless router has a properly configured internet connection.
2. Connect the EM4594 to a wall outlet. Please place the EM4594 close to the
modem/router during setup.
3. Wait for the LED to turn blue (flashing). This will take approx.. 1 minute.
4. Press the WPS button on your wireless router for approximately 3 seconds*.
*Refer to the manual of your wireless router for the exact duration of pressing the
WPS button. This can differ from brand or model.
5. Now press the WPS button on the EM4594 Wireless Repeater for 1 second. Refer
to the following image for the WPS button:

6. The connection between your wireless router and the EM4594 wireless repeater
will be established automatically. This will take approx. 1 minute including reboot.
Note: If the WPS button is used, the SSID and network key and frequencies are the
same as used on your wireless router. Some WPS routers will change their original
SSID to another SSID if WPS is used. In this installation guide, the SSID of the
wireless router is ‘Eminent Test 1’.After using WPS button the SSID will automatically
change to SSID + (R).
If you wish to use different settings from your modem/router you will need to setup the
EM4594 manually using a web browser.
