VONETS device as WiFi Repeater, it must be configured to source WiFi hostpot
parameters, can be used to extend the wireless signal coverage of existing APs or wifi
router .
⚫WiFi Bridge:
VONETS device as WiFi bridge, it must be configured to source WiFi hotspot
parameters, can be used for devices only with Ethernet ports to access wireless
networks.
⚫WiFi AP：
VONETS device as WiFi AP, it can achieve wireless access to wired LAN, no
configuration required, plug and play.

Chapter 2 Bridge+Repeater Mode Configuration
Instruction
2.1 Device connect
Power on VONETS device by 5V/2A power supply, then connect to PC, there are two
connection ways as below:
A. Computer is wired connected to LAN port of VONETS device;
（Recommend Method）
B. The computer wirelessly connects to the WiFi signal of VONETS device, its default
hotspot parameters are as follows:
Model
WiFi SSID
WiFi Password
VAP11S
VONETS_2.4G_****
12345678
VAP11S-5G
VONETS_5G_****
12345678
（After the WiFi parameters are configured, the WiFi will be disconnected, that is normal.）
2.2 Bridge+Repeater Application Configuration
The configuration steps of VONETS device for WiFi repeater and WiFi bridge are basically
the same, so this manual combines the configuration instructions of the two application

4
modes.
1. After computer is connected to VONETS device, open browser, input configured page:
http://vonets.cfg (or IP: 192.168.254.254), then press Enter;
2. Input User name and Password in login page (both are “admin”), click “Login” button to

3. “Scan Hotspots”, choose the source hotspots, click “Next”;
4. Input “Source wireless hotspot password”, click “Apply”;
⚫IP layer transparent transmission (factory default), transparent transmission of IP
layer data, can meet most of WiFi bridge applications;
⚫MAC layer transparent transmission, transparent transmission of all data above the
MAC layer (link layer) and MAC layer, including IP layer data. MAC transparent
transmission can solve some special applications for MAC layer encryption, such as
GoPro camera, CiscoAP, Hikvision monitoring system, etc;
⚫The option “The configuration parameters of WiFi repeater security is
synchronized with source hotspot” is default ticked, it means the SSID of VONETS
repeater is associated with the SSID of the source hotspot, and the WiFi password is the
same as the password of the source hotspot;
⚫Disable hotspot, if you select “Disable hotspot” on the right side of the SSID, the device

than 50% greater than 10%, WiFi status light will pause flash and flash;
④VONETS device is connected to hotspot failed, WiFi connection status light will flash
slowly.
2.3AP Application Configuration
VONETS device can be configured as an AP application, the wireless terminal device can
connect to VONETS device hotspot to connect to the network; however, it is best to change
its WiFi name and password for network security.
1. Log in to the configuration page http://vonets.cfg (or IP: 192.168.254.254you’re your
computer browser, both user name and password are “admin”;
2. Revise WiFi name: Jump to “WiFi Repeater”---- “Basic Settings”, enter new WiFi name
in “General Hotspot SSID”, click “Apply”;
3. Revise WiFi password, in “WiFi Repeater”----“WiFi Security”, enter new WiFi password
in “Pass Phrase”, click “Apply”;
