MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Magnetic Mounting
The mounting kit included with the Range Extender / Bridge provides a convenient method to mount the Range Extender / Bridge on a wall or ceiling. Once you have chosen the location for where you want to install the Range Extender / Bridge, locate the Mounting Template. Use it to mark the screw hole locations onto your wall.
Once the screw holes have been marked, locate the Magnetic Mounting Kit and use the included screws to fasten the two magnetic plates to the wall.
Once the plates are fastened, attach the Range Extender / Bridge to the wall plates and check that the magnets are firmly holding the Range Extender / Bridge to the wall.
Wall Mounting In addition to the Magnetic Mounting Kit, the Range Extender / Bridge can also be mounted using the standard wall mounting clips on the bottom of the device.
GETTING STARTED
a) Attach the included antennas to the antenna ports on the Range Extender / Bridge. b) Power on the Range Extender / Bridge by attaching either the power adapter to the Range Extender /
Bridge and plugging in the other end into a power outlet or attaching a PoE Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port on the side panel and the other end to an active PoE switch.
c) Connect to the Range Extender / Bridge with your computer by attaching an Ethernet cable to the
LAN2 port on the side panel.
OPERATIONAL MODES (BASIC SETUP)
The Range Extender / Bridge features four different operational modes that can be configured via the web menu:
- Network Bridge
- Range Extender
- Firewall Range Extender
- WDS-Bridge
NETWORK BRIDGE OVERVIEW
A Network Bridge creates a connection between two separate networks wirelessly. The Network Bridge connects to a Wi-Fi network (either 2.4 or 5.0GHz network) of the existing network and provides wired connections to expand the network further. All devices connected to the Client Bridge are on the same subnet and local network as the existing network. Note: The Network Bridge does not create another Wi-Fi network to connect to, it only provides wired connections to expand a network.
NETWORK BRIDGE MODE BASIC SETUP
Find an optimal setup location for your Network Bridge
Place the Network Bridge in a location where it can receive a strong signal from the Source Network. The better the connection the faster the bridged network speeds will be.
Attach Antennas, Power On & Connect to your Computer
d) Attach the included antennas to the antenna ports on the Network Bridge. e) Power on the Network Bridge by attaching either the power adapter to the Bridge and plugging in the
other end into a power outlet or attaching a PoE Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port on the side panel and the other end to an active PoE switch.
f) Connect to the Network Bridge with your computer by attaching an Ethernet cable to the LAN2 port
on the side panel.
Open your Web Browser
a) Open your web browser. b) Type http://setup.ampedwireless.com
into the web address bar.
If the web menu fails to open, type in the following IP address into your web address bar:
http://192.168.80.240
Note: If you have problems accessing the Web Menu… Disable third-party firewalls such as Norton, Zone Alarm or Windows
Defender. Check to see that your computer is not connected to other wireless networks.
c) When prompted, enter the login and password:
Select the Operational Mode
a) After the web menu appears, select
Dashboard from the navigation menu on the
top of the page.
b) Select Operational Mode from the left hand
navigation.
c) Using the dropdown menu, select Network
Bridge Mode for the Operational Mode and
click Apply.
d) When the web menu has reloaded, select
Basic Setup.
Basic Setup Wizard
Confirm that Bridge Mode is the mode that you wish to configure and Click Next to begin.
Scan for a Source Network to Connect to and Bridge
Click Scan to find available networks. Select the Source Network that you wish to connect to and bridge.
Note: It is recommended that you select a Source Network with a
signal strength greater than 70% for the most reliable connection. Poor signal connections may cause slow speeds or dropped connections.
Click Next to continue.
Note: If you do not see your desired Source Network, click Scan
again, or move the Network Bridge to another location and Scan again as the Bridge may be out of range.
Source Network Security Settings (if necessary)
If the Source Network chosen has security enabled, you will need to enter the security key here. If the Source Network does not have security enabled, leave the security field blank.
Click Next to apply the settings.
DO NOT LEAVE OR REFRESH THIS PAGE Allow the configuration to complete and the Basic Setup Wizard will automatically redirect you to the next step.
If there are problems with your configuration, the Basic Setup Wizard will inform you of the issues with your configuration. If there are no problems, you will see the Setup Summary page.
Setup Summary
Once the Network Bridge has rebooted, it will load the Setup Summary page and provide you with the details of your setup. It is recommended that you print this page for your records.
Open a new web browser window and check that you have access to the Internet.
Additional settings can be configured using the navigation menu on the top of the Web Menu.
RANGE EXTENDER MODE OVERVIEW
Range Extender mode expands the range of any standard Wi-Fi router by repeating the signal (2.4GHz and
5.0GHz) and redistributing it in a new, extended location. In addition, to creating a new extended Wi-Fi network for devices to connect to, the Range Extender also provides additional wired connections for bridging additional network devices to the existing network. All devices connected to the Range Extender are on the same subnet and local network as the existing network.
RANGE EXTENDER MODE BASIC SETUP
Find an optimal setup location for your Range Extender
Place the Range Extender in a location between your Source Network’s wireless access point/router and your wireless dead zone. It’s recommended that you place the Range Extender in a location where it can receive a strong signal from the Source Network’s wireless access point/router.
Attach Antennas, Power On & Connect to your Computer
a) Attach the included antennas to the antenna ports on the Range Extender. b) Power on the Range Extender by attaching either the power adapter to the Range Extender and
plugging in the other end into a power outlet or attaching a PoE Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port on the side panel and the other end to an active PoE switch.
c) Connect to the Range Extender with your computer by attaching an Ethernet cable to the LAN2 port
on the side panel.
