WPS - Method
You can also use the WPS function as an alternative
Set-up method, if you have a WPS button available on
your primary router. Hold the WPS button of your Prima-
ry Router/WiFi AP till the WPS LED starts blinking.
Press and hold the WPS 3 seconds on the Rear Panel.
Once WPS light starts blinking on it as well, please wait
for a minute for The primary router/AP and the Extender
Prescitech X12 to pair up and then connect to the
"Prescitech X12_2.4G_EXT or
Prescitech X12_5G_EXT" SSID in your Smart Phone
using your primary router's WIFI password.
6) Enter your Router's/AP's WIFI password in the Pass-
word/WIFI Key/Security key column and click on
"Apply"
7) Open the list of available networks again using your
smartphone. Find out the New SSID "Prescitech
X12_2.4G_EXT or Prescitech X12_5G_EXT" and con-
nect with it using the same password as of your primary
router/AP.
8) If the internet works, unplug Prescitech X12 and plug
it halfway between your Router and the Device intended
for the internet usage/dead zones in your home where
you were getting low to no WIFI signals.

Overview
The Prescitech X12 WiFi Range Extender is a network
device with multifunction, which can be using for in-
creasing the distance of a WiFi network by boosting the
existing WiFi signal and enhancing the overall signal
quality over long distances. An extender repeats the sig-
nals from an existing WiFi router or access point.
The Prescitech X12 WiFi Range Extender also can be
used as an Access Point.

Using as a Extender
We recommend that you connect through the extender
network only when the WiFi device is in a “dead zone”
where connection from the existing network is poor or
nonexistent. Data traffic routed through the extender is
inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the net-
work.
When to Use Your Extender
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router
(or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi device outside the
range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two
main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network. When
the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network,
it functions as a network client, similar to how a WiFi
device connects to a network.
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi
devices can join. In its role as an access point, the ex-
tender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as
broadcasting its network name (SSID).
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both
ends of the bridge are in place.
How the Extender Works

06
Turn the Power On/Off button to “On” and Mode Switch
Button to “Extender” on the side of the extender, plug the
extender into an electrical outlet, place your extender in
the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the
initial setup process.
1 Power on the Extender
Boosts the range of your
existing WiFi and creates
a stronger signal in hard
to reach areas.
WiFi Range Extender
sometimes your router
does not provide the
WiFi coverage you need.
Existing WiFi

07
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must con-
nect the extender to your existing WiFi network. You can
do this in one of two ways:
Method 1. Connect with a web browser.
Method 2. Connect with WPS.For more information,
see Method 2: Connect with WPS. For more page 11.
2 Connect to an Existing WiFi
Network
1) Use a WiFi network manager on a computer or mobile
device (recommended) to find and connect to the ex-
tender WiFi network “Prescitech X12_2.4G or Presci-
tech X12_5G”
Method 1: Connect with a web browser

08
2) Launch a web browser, enter
http://extenderlogin.com or http://192.168.19.252/ in
the address field of the web browser, when prompted,
setup the password for admin page during the initial
setup process.
3) Click the “Start Extend” button.
4) Then choose a WiFi network to extend.
Note: Click the Refresh button if the wireless Network
list couldn't loads completely or successfully.
5) In the Key (Network password) field, type the existing
WiFi network password (also called the passphrase or
security key) and click the Apply button, wait 1 minute to
reboot the extender.
6) Find and connect to the new extended WiFi network
on your computer or WiFi device. The extender creates
a new extended WiFi network. The extender’s new WiFi
network name is “Prescitech X12_2.4G_EXT or
Prescitech X12_5G_EXT”, use the same WiFi pass-
word that you use for your WiFi router.

09
Note: If the extender doesn’t connect to the router, the
Status LED keeps lits red and the extender’s new WiFi
network name doesn’t change to “Prescitech
X12_2.4G_EXT or Prescitech X12_5G_EXT”, you
might type the incorrect password during on step 5.
Note: Place the extender in an elevated location and
minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the
router and your other devices.
7) Unplug the extender and move it to a new location
that is about halfway between your router and the area
with a poor router WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of
your existing WiFi router network.
Use the Status LED to help you choose a spot where the
extender-to-router connection is optimal.
8) If the Status LED lits amber , plug the extender into an
outlet closer to the router and try again. Keep moving the
extender to outlets closer to the router until the Status
LED lits blue.
Host Wi-Fi

10
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi
network without typing the network name and password.
1) Press the WPS button on the front panel of the ex-
tender. The WPS LED blinks.
2) Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your
router or access point. When the extender connects to
your existing WiFi network successful, the extender's
new WiFi network name will change to “Prescitech
X12_2.4G_EXT or Prescitech X12_5G_EXT", and the
Status LED will light blue or amber (check the WLAN
LED Descriptions on Page ?), confirm it on your comput-
er or WiFi device. If the extender could not connect to
your existing WiFi network, try again. If it still does not
work, see Method 1: Connect with a web browser on
page 07.
3) Unplug the extender and move it to a new location
that is about halfway between your router and the area
with a poor router WiFi signal.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If
you are using WEP security, follow the instructions in
Method 1: Connect with a web browser on page 07.
Method 2: Connect with WPS
Host Wi-Fi

The location that you choose must be within the range of
your existing WiFi router network.
4) Use the Status LED to help you choose a spot where
the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
5) If the Status LED lits amber , plug the extender into
an outlet closer to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router
until the Status LED lits blue.
6) Find and connect to the new extended WiFi network
on your computer or WiFi device.
The extender creates a new extended WiFi network. The
extender’s new WiFi network name is “Prescitech
X12_2.4G_EXT or Prescitech X12_5G_EXT”, use the
same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
Note: Place the extender in an elevated location and
minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the
router and your other devices.
Note: If the extender doesn’t connect to the router, the
Status LED keeps lits red and the extender’s new WiFi
network name doesn’t change to “Prescitech
X12_2.4G_EXT or Prescitech X12_5G_EXT”.
Host Wi-Fi

Connect an Ethernet-Enabled Device
After the extender is connected to your existing WiFi net-
work, you can connect a wired device to the extender
using an Ethernet cable. That device can then access
your existing network through the WiFi connection.
WLAN WAN LAN1 LAN2 LAN3 LAN4 WPS

13
Using as a Access Point
The Prescitech X12 WiFi Range Extender also can be
used as an Access Point, An access point receives data
by wired Ethernet (such as hotel’s wired Ethernet), and
converts to a 2.4Gig Hz and 5Gig Hz wireless signal. It
sends and receives wireless traffic to and from nearby
wireless clients.

2) Connect the AP to your wired Ethernet port with the
Ethernet cable came with your AP.
1) Power on the AP, turn the Power On/Off button to
“On” and Mode Switch Button to “AP” on the side of the
AP, plug the AP into an electrical outlet.
3) Use a WiFi network manager on a computer or mobile
device (recommended) to find and connect to the AP
WiFi network “Prescitech X12_2.4G or Prescitech
X12_5G”.
