Get Started
Plug the device into an easily accessible power outlet. The repeater is ready to operate as soon as
the blue LED is slowly blinking.
Reinforcing an existing WiFi network (Repeater mode)
In repeater mode you can increase the range of an existing WiFi by reproducing the radio signal. Two
conguration options are available. Use WPS if your router supports this function.
By using WPS
1. Make sure that the reception is good with the existing WiFi at the repeater location. For example,
you can check this with your smartphone by opening the WiFi settings and checking the
reception.
2. Activate the WPS function on your WiFi router by either pressing the WPS button on your router or
activating the function via the web interface. Refer to your router‘s user guide for more information
on how to activate WPS.
3. After WPS has been activated on your router, press and hold the WPS button on the repeater for
about 1 second. The blue LED will start to ash quickly.
4. As soon as the blue LED lights up permanently, the connection is established. The repeater now
retransmits the radio signal of your router‘s existing WiFi network.
Note: For security reasons, the WPS function of your router only remains active for a few minutes.
If the connection is not established within 3 minutes, place the repeater closer to your router and
repeat the procedure. Please note that the repeater only supports WiFi networks with 2.4GHz. If your
existing WiFi network is hidden, you should make it visible for the conguration in the settings of your
router. If your router does not support WPS, congure the repeater by manually entering network
information.
By manually entering network information
1. Make sure that the reception is good with the existing WiFi at the repeater
location. For example, you can check this with your smartphone by
opening the WiFi settings and checking the reception.
2. Connect your WiFi enabled device (e.g. smartphone, notebook) to the
„Wireless-N“ network automatically created by the repeater or connect
your device to the repeater with a network cable.
3. Open your Internet browser and access the repeater‘s web interface at http://192.168.10.1,
http://ap.setup or scan the QR code.
4. Select the language and log in. The default password is „admin“.
5. Select „Wizard“ and then „Repeater“. The repeater will list all available networks.
6. Select the network you want to reinforce, enter the password of the network and click „Connect“.
You can change the network identier (SSID) if desired. However, we recommend using the same
SSID that your WiFi uses.
7. The repeater restarts. As soon as the blue LED lights up permanently, the connection is establis-
hed. The repeater now retransmits the radio signal of your router‘s existing WiFi network.
Integrating non WiFi capable devices to the existing WiFi
If you want to integrate a non WiFi capable device into the network, you can connect it to the repeater
using the network cable.
1. Connect the repeater to your existing WiFi network as described above and make sure that the
blue LED lights up permanently.
2. Connect the device to be integrated with a network cable and the repeater.
3. The connected device should now be connected to the network.
Creating an independent WiFi (Access point mode)
In case you do not have a WiFi in your existing wired network or would like to expand an existing
WiFi by cable, you can create a WiFi using the Access Point mode.
1. Connect your WiFi enabled device (e.g. smartphone, notebook) to the „Wireless-N“ network auto-
matically created by the repeater or connect your device to the repeater with a network cable.
2. Open your Internet browser and access the repeater‘s web interface at http://192.168.10.1, http://
ap.setup or scan the QR code.
3. Select the language and log in. The default password is „admin“.
4. Select „Wizard“ and then „AP“ to start the access point conguration.
5. Enter the network ID under „WiFi SSID“, set the encryption to „WPA2-PSK“ for maximum security,
and enter a secure password for the WiFi to be created under „Password“.
6. Click on „Apply“ to save the settings.
7. the repeater restarts and is now accessible under the network identication you have set.
8. You may now connect the repeater to your existing wired network.
Changing the repeater password
For your safety, you should change the repeater‘s default password after setup to prevent unautho-
rized access to the repeater conguration.
1. Connect your WiFi enabled device (e.g. smartphone, notebook) to the repeater via WiFi or network
cable.
2. Open your internet browser and access the web interface of the router via the address http://
ap.setup or scan the QR code.
3. Select the language and log in. The default password is „admin“.
4. Go to „System“ and then „System Safety“.
5. Enter the old password, enter the new password twice and conrm the change by clicking on
„Apply“.
