Tips: Power Outages, Resetting Routers and Channel Changes
Wireless routers operate on specific wireless channels to avoid interference with neighboring networks. Some
wireless routers are set automatically to scan for the best wireless channel. A power outage, or a simple reboot,
may cause your home wireless router to change its wireless channel and cause the range extender to disconnect
from your home network.
To fix this issue, Simply log onto the smart repeaters web menu by opening your web browser and accessing
http://setup.loopcomm.com. If the page does not load, try resetting the smart repeater by holding the reset
button for 5 to 10seconds. After the Smart Repeater has rebooted open your web browser and try again.
When the web menu appears, run through the smart setup wizard again to reconfigure the connection to your
home network.
To prevent the channel changing issue from occurring in the future, you may log onto your router’s web menu
and set the wireless channel from automatic to a static channel number. You need to reconfigure the smart
repeater with the new channel. If you are not sure how to access your router’s web menu, contact the support
department for the brand of your wireless router.
Auto loading web menu
When the smart repeater loses its connection with your home network, the web menu will automatically load on
your web browser. All web address entries will be redirected to the smart setup wizard of the smart repeater. This
redirect feature is through the web menu (left side): More Settings>2.4G> Network Settings> IP Settings
