4. Set up
The OWA3111 can be used:
• As a wired Wi-Fi6 home network enabler.
You will use this scenario in case your Internet gateway and/or home network has
no Wi-Fi, or Wi-Fi capabilities without Wi-Fi6.
For this scenario, see “4.1. Wired Wi-Fi6 home network enabler” on page5.
• As a wireless Wi-Fi6 home network enabler.
You will use this scenario in case your Internet gateway and/or home network has
Wi-Fi, but no Wi-Fi6 and/or EasyMesh.
For this scenario, see “4.2. Wireless Wi-Fi6 home network enabler” on page6.
• As an EasyMesh home network extender.
You will use this scenario in case you want to extend your existing EasyMesh Wi-Fi
home network with additional coverage using the OWA3111. In such environment
your Internet gateway or another Wi-Fi device is already operating as the Wi-Fi
EasyMesh controller.
For this scenario, see “4.3. EasyMesh home network extender” on page7.
To join an existing EasyMesh home network, you must first enable EasyMesh
on your OWA3111 via its GUI. For more information, see “5.7. Configure your
Wi-Fi extender to your needs” on page11.

5.5. What to do when the Status LED is blinking red?
This indicates that the OWA3111 could not establish a Wi-Fi connection through
WPS.
Do the following:
1 Wait until the red blinking LED goes out, then try using WPS again.
2 Turn your OWA3111 slightly and then try again.
3 Obstructions may deteriorate the signal strength. Try to minimize the number of
walls between the two devices and then try again.
4 Move the devices closer to each other and then try again.
5.6. Optimizing the link quality
Tips
To achieve optimal link quality:
• Always try to reduce the number of obstacles (especially walls) between your
Wi-Fi devices to a minimum.
• Do not place your Wi-Fi devices in the neighbourhood of devices that cause
interfence (microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.).
• Use Wi-Fi devices that support and use (multiple) 5GHz Wi-Fi.
WPS
Status LED
If the OWA3111 has a Wi-Fi connection to an Internet gateway, extender or repeater
(with or without EasyMesh), the Status LED ( ) will provide information about the
quality of the link between them.
If the Status LED ( ) is:
• Solid green: then the link quality is optimal. No further actions are needed.
• Solid yellow: then the link quality is fair, but not optimal. Change the position of
the OWA3111 until the LED turns green.
• Solid red: then the link quality is bad. Change the position of the OWA3111 until
the LED turns green or at least orange.
Repositioning the OWA3111 for better link quality
First try to improve the link quality without unplugging the power supply:
1 Reposition the OWA3111 to avoid obstacles, like walls, furniture and TV screens,
between the OWA3111 and your access point.
2 Wait 15seconds to allow the OWA3111 to re-evaluate the link quality.
If the link quality did not improve:
1 Unplug the power supply and move the OWA3111 closer to your access point, or
to a place with less obstacles between the OWA3111 and your access point.
2 Plug in the power supply and wait two minutes to allow the OWA3111 to start up
all services and evaluate the link quality.
5.7. Configure your Wi‑Fi extender to your needs
Accessing the OWA3111 web interface
The Wi-Fi extender web interface allows you to configure your Wi-Fi extender using
your web browser. To access the Wi-Fi extender web user interface:
1 Check the IP address of your OWA3111. If your OWA3111:
Is connected to your home network (either wired or via Wi-Fi), browse to the
web interface of your gateway to check the IP address of the OWA3111.
Not connected to your home network, the default IP address of the OWA3111
is 192.168.1.2.
2 Browse to the OWA3111’s IP address found (or http://192.168.1.2) on a computer
or device that is currently connected to your Wi-Fi extender (either wired or over
Wi-Fi).

5.4. Pairing Wi‑Fi devices to your OWA3111
Connecting your Wi‑Fi devices using WPS
1 Briefly press the WPS ( ) button on
the OWA3111. The Status LED ( ) on
the OWA3111 starts blinking green.
2 Within two minutes, start WPS on your
Wi-Fi device. If your Wi-Fi device is:
Another Wi-Fi extender, briefly press its WPS button.
Another type of device, consult the documentation of your device.
3 After some time the Status LED ( ) on the OWA3111 turns back to its previous
solid state (green, yellow or red). The Wi-Fi connection is now successfully
established.
Note: If the Status LED ( ) is blinking red, go to “5.5. What to do when the
Status LED is blinking red?” on page10 for further instructions.
