Example of residence with Wi-Fi signal repeater

6
Note that the router’s coverage area does not cover the entire residence, so a IWE 3001 is used as a Wi-Fi repeater to
solve this problem. It is important to note that in this scenario, depending on the room you are in, when connecting a
device (a laptop or smartphone, for example) to the Wi-Fi network it may connect either to the router or the repeater.
Examples:
» If you are in the living room (C) and connect to Wi-Fi, you are connecting to your main router’s Wi-Fi network.
» If you are in the kitchen (D) and connect to the Wi-Fi network, you are connecting to the repeater Wi-Fi network.
» If you connect to the Wi-Fi network while in the dining room (A) and then you move to the bedroom (B), and the main
signal network still reaches it, even if weak, your device will still be connected to the main router, not automatically
switching to Wi-Fi on the repeater. If you want your device to connect to the repeater and thus get a stronger signal,
disable and enable your device’s Wi-Fi network again (if you don’t know how to do this, you can try restarting it so that
the Wi-Fi connection with the stronger signal network occurs).The same goes for the move in the direction area covered
by the repeater > area covered by the router (from the bedroom to the dining room, for example). In short: when moving
between the rooms, disconnect and reconnect your device to the Wi-Fi network so that it connects to the network with
the best signal.
Note: To congure the product in Wi-Fi Repeater mode, you should follow only one of the ways presented: either via
WPS button or via web browser.
3.1. Installation and conguring as Wi-Fi Repeater via WPS button
WPS is a simplied conguration option: with just two touches (one on the IWE 3001 and one on your main router) you
can congure the repeater to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network.
Note: the following process congures the repeater via the WPS function. Make sure that your router has this feature
congured and that it is working properly. If your router does not have the WPS function or you do not know how to
check if it is working, refer to item 3.2. Installing and conguring as a Wi-Fi Repeater via web browser.
» Step 1: plug the repeater into the outlet and wait for it to start (red LED stops ashing). This will take about 1 minute;
» Step 2: press the WPS button on your router (one click only);
» Step 3: within 1 minute after pressing it, press the WPS button ( ) on the IWE 3001 (one click only).
Using the WPS button
After pressing the WPS button ( ) on the IWE 3001, check the product LED; it indicates the status of the congura-
tion. If it ashes green, and within 5 minutes it lights up in this same color, the conguration was successfully perfor-
med. However, if it ashes green and some time later it turns red, there was some problem in the conguration. In that
case, it is necessary to redo the process. If you redo it and again you do not succeed, follow the instructions in the item
3.2. c. For more information about the product LED, see item 1.1. Signicado do LED .
Note: » After the conguration, the repeater will use the same name and password of the Wi-Fi network of your main
router. .
» Once congured, IWE 3001 will change the access address to the web interface, which can no longer be
accessed via http://10.0.0.1. To nd out how to perform access after conguration, see the item 6. Frequently
asked questions of this document.

That’s it! You have nished conguring the IWE 3001 in Wi-Fi Repeater mode, via WPS button ( ).
3.2. Installing and conguring as Wi-Fi Repeater via web browser
This is another way to congure IWE 3001. If you have already performed the conguration procedure via WPS , you do
not need to follow the steps below, as your product should already be congured and working.
If you have not yet congured, follow these steps:
» Step 1: plug the IWE 3001 into the outlet and wait for it to start (red LED stops ashing). This will take about 1 minute;
» Step 2: connect to the Wi-Fi network under the name IWE 3001; if you are already connected to a network under
another name, disconnect and connect to the Wi-Fi network under the name IWE 3001;
Note: if you wish to perform the conguration using a mobile device (smartphone, for example), we recommend dis-
abling the mobile data network (3G/4G, etc.) before following the next steps.
» Step 3: open your web browser (we recommend using the most current versions of Google Chrome®, Mozilla Firefox®
or Microsoft Edge®), and access the address http://meurepetidor.local , as shown in the following image. If the page does
not open, access it through http://10.0.0.1 or http://169.254.0.10 .
Access via web browser
Welcome to the installation wizard! To congure your repeater, choose the network you want to repeat and, if your
network uses a password, enter it in the eld Enter the Wi-Fi network password .
After entering your password, click on the Save button.
A few moments later, the following message will appear:
In this message, click on Finish . Then check the product LED; it indicates if the conguration status. If it ashes green
and some time later it lights up in that same color, the setting was successfully performed. However, if the LED ashes
green and then turns red again, there was some problem with the setting. If this occurs, connect to the IWE 3001 Wi-Fi
network and congure the repeater again. If the difculty persists, please refer to item 6. Dúvidas frequentes . For more
information about the product LED, see item 1.1. Meaning of the LED.
Note: » After conguration, the repeater will use the same name and password as the Wi-Fi network of your main
router, therefore, the IWE 3001 Wi-Fi network will no longer be displayed on your devices.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if I cannot
congure IWE 3001 either via
WPS or web browser?
Option 1: restart the equipment of your main network (router, modem, etc.) turning off and on again the electrical power. Then, congure

What can I do to access the
repeater after conguration?
Option 1: connect to the repeater’s Wi-Fi network and then access it via IP address 169.254.0.10 .
Option 2: check the repeater’s IP address on your main router’s client list. The repeater should appear in the list under the name IWE
3001. You can also search the repeater in the list for the MAC address found on the product label.
What to do when the IWE
3001 network disappears after
conguration?
After conguration, the repeater will change its network name to the same as your current network, so the IWE 3001 Wi-Fi network will
not actually appear. If you wish to change the repeater’s Wi-Fi setting, at the end of the wizard, click on Advanced settings and change the
local network name and password.
What to do when the
connection gets slow?
The repeater needs to be installed in a location where it receives a good signal from your router; try changing the repeater’s installation
location and test the connection again.
What to do when IWE 3001
Wi-Fi network is not found?
Option 1: if the product LED is green and not ashing, the IWE 3001 network will not appear because the product is already congured.
