SWIFT PRO
The KING Swift Pro is an omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna
that increases the range and performance of your
WiFiMax router and range extender. This 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
antenna mounts to your roof, connects to your WiFiMax
via a single cable, and allows your WiFiMax to connect
to networks from even farther away and still utilize its 5.8
GHz network for fastest speeds.

The WiFiMax Pro can also be used as a router (use as a router
disables repeating/extending function-see page 14).
TIP
The KING WiFiMax Pro creates your own private and secure Wi-Fi
network, just like you have in your home. When in range of an available
network, simply con¿gure your WiFiMax to connect to that network, and
it will extend the internet access from that network to your own private
Wi-Fi network.

INSTALLATION
1. Drill 5/16” hole in roof where cable will enter roof. Feed long cable into position with
enough cable sticking out of roof to attach KING Swift cable. This end is marked
“ROOF” and is red.
2. Connect KING Swift cable and long cable.
3. Apply roof-compatible sealant around perimeter of bracket. Feed cable into hole, lower
bracket into position and fasten to roof. Seal fastener heads and cable hole in roof.
4. Inside vehicle, install wall plate if desired, and connect cable to KING WiFiMax.
• For best performance, the antenna should be located as far away as possible from
other rooftop objects (TV antennas, AC units, etc.) and with the best all around line of
sight.
• When determining locations, make sure the long cable will reach the KING WiFiMax
when attached to the KING Swift cable. (KING Swift cable may go directly to prewire
enclosure - see opposite page).
• Do not locate the KING WiFiMax or KING Swift in a slide-out.
• Cable connection between KING Swift and long cable must always be inside vehicle
(or prewire enclosure if using).
You can also use the included
bracket to mount the antenna
to a pole, ladder or mirror.
SEALANT MUST BE
ROOF-COMPATIBLE.
The installer must supply the most
appropriate fasteners to secure the
bracket to the roof.
All holes, fastener heads, and perimeter
of bracket must be completely sealed
and weatherproofed.

Page 13
If there is a prewire enclosure on the roof,
you will ¿nd a preinstalled wall plate in the
vehicle. Remove this wall plate and install
the included black or white wall plate.
1. Remove (4) screws and take oႇantenna.
Connection with OEM installed prewire antenna or prewire enclosure
2. Knock out the hole for the watertight connector.
3. Take the nut oႇthe watertight connector.
4. Feed the cable through the connector,
antenna base and nut.
5. Install the connector in the
antenna base with the nut.
6. Feed desired amount of cable
through connector and tighten
the connector’s sealing nut.
7. Connect the two cables.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The WiFiMax doesn’t power on (LED on top front does not turn on).
Make sure power supply plug is securely inserted into back of the WiFiMax. Make
sure the power supply is plugged into a known good power outlet.
I can’t ¿nd the network KING_XXXXXX_5G or KING_XXXXXX.
Make sure your WiFiMax is plugged in. It may take up to a minute for these networks
to appear. Some older devices may be unable to see the 5.8 GHz network. This is
completely okay; just use the KING_XXXXXX network.
I can’t connect to mykingwi¿.com
Make sure you are connected to your WiFiMax’s network. Then make sure you type
in the web address exactly as it appears in this manual: http://mykingwi¿.com.
I can’t enter a password in the designated box.
Choose WPA/WPA2-PSK (recommended) under “Encryption Mode” (right above
the password box) to enable password protection.
I don’t see the Upstream WiFi name I want to extend in my list of networks.
If a network is very far away or very weak, the WiFiMax may not be able to see it,
or may not oႇer it as an option. Try scanning again for networks by tapping on the
blue circular arrows. If your network is still not oႇered as an option, try moving the
WiFiMax to a location closer to your desired network.
When my router reboots, it gets stuck at 100% and won’t ¿nish rebooting.
Try reloading the page. If the page won’t load, make sure your device is still
connected to the WiFiMax. It may have disconnected during the reboot.
The WiFiMax doesn’t seem to extend the range of my Wi-Fi, or has trouble picking
up signal from my source.
Make sure all 4 antennas (3 if the Swift is connected) are pointing up. If wall
mounting, antennas must be rotated to point up as well.
Certain types of obstructions (other vehicles, buildings, or large amounts of metal)
can reduce signal levels. Try relocating the WiFiMax.
Let us help! KING Customer Service 952-345-8147
To reset the WiFiMax: Press and hold the RESET button until the front LED starts
Àashing (5-10 seconds). The reset takes one to two minutes. The LED turns light green
when done.
NOTE: You will have to re-enter your name and password (page 6).
