Omnidirectional Wi-Fi Antenna KS1000
SWIFT
The KING WiFiMax creates your own private and secure Wi-Fi
network, just like you have in your home. When in range of an
available network, simply congure your WiFiMax to connect to that
network, and it will extend the internet access from that network to
your own private Wi-Fi network.
The KING Swift is an omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna
that increases the range and performance of your
KING WiFiMax router and range extender. This
2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna mounts to your roof, connects
to your KING WiFiMax via a single cable, and allows
your KING WiFiMax to connect to networks from
even farther away and still utilize its 5GHz network for
fastest speeds.

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.
Page 13
IMPORTANT!
The installer is responsible for determining and
supplying the most appropriate fasteners to secure the
bracket to the roof.
All holes, fastener heads, and the entire perimeter
of the bracket must be completely sealed and
weatherproofed with roof-compatible sealant.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The KING WiFiMax doesn’t power on (no blue lights on front).
Make sure power supply plug is securely inserted into back of KING 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 KING 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 5GHz 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 KING 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 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 KING WiFiMax may not be able to see
it, or may not oer it as an option. Try scanning again for networks by clicking on the
blue circular arrows. If your network is still not oered as an option, try moving your
KING 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 KING WiFiMax. It may have disconnected during the reboot.
The KING 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 KING 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 KING WiFiMax.
Let us help! KING Customer Service 952-345-8147
NOTE: KING WiFiMax can be reset by
pressing and holding
the reset button until the front
lights go out (15-20 seconds).
