Welcome to the Dashboard
The Dashboard will provide you with the current status of the Range Extender.
Click SCAN to find an available network to extend.
The diagram on this page displays the terms used to describe:
1) The network you are trying to extend (Home
Network).
2) The network that is rebroadcasted and
extended (Extended Network).
Study this diagram carefully as the terms used in the following instructions will refer to these names.

Scan for a Home Network to Extend
Highlight and select the Wi-Fi network that you wish to extend and click Next to continue. Check that your Wi­Fi Network has a signal strength of 70% or greater.
If you fail to find any Wi-Fi networks, or your signal strength is below 70%, the Range Extender may be placed too far from the Wi-Fi network that you are trying to extend. Move your Range Extender closer to the Wi-Fi network that you are trying to extend and click RESCAN.
The Scan results page will display information regarding the name of the network (SSID), the channel which the Wi-Fi network is operating on and the security type of network. The results page will also display what the signal strength is coming from each specific network detected.

Connecting to a Secure Network
If the Wi-Fi network you are trying to extend has Wi-Fi security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a security key. If you did not select a secure network, you will not see this page.
Enter the security key in the space provided. You do not need to select what type of security it is, just simply type in the key and click Next.
The Wizard will automatically detect your home network’s security settings. If you do not know the key to the network you are trying to extend, then click Back and select another network.

Extended Network Settings
The default SSID of the Range Extender is “Amped_REC10”
If you choose to "Clone" the settings from your Home Network, the wizard will copy the SSID and security key of your Home Network.
The SSID of the Extended Network will have a "_RE" at the end of its name. For example: Home_Network_RE
You can also manually enter a new network ID and security key. The new security key must be at least 8 characters long.
Click Next to apply the settings.

Once you have connected, click the check box to confirm. The Next button will appear allowing you to complete the setup process.
If there are problems with your configuration, the Wizard will inform you to rescan for a network to extend.

If the Home/Office Network connection fails try the following…
a. Check to see that your Home Network security settings are correct. b. Check on the SCAN page that your Home Network is showing a signal of 70% or greater. If not, move
the Range Extender closer to your Home Network router and try again.
c. Check that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled. d. Try changing the channel of the Home Network router to a higher channel number (5-11) and run the
Wizard again.
e. If possible, check the Internet connection for your Home Network Wi-Fi router. Connect directly to
your Home Network Wi-Fi router. If you are unable to access the internet through the Home Network Wi-Fi router, you must first fix this problem. The Range Extender will not be able to obtain internet access through a router that does not have internet access. Once Internet access is restored, connect to the Range Extender again and retry the Wizard.
f. Return to the Wizard and attempt to connect to another Home Network known to have Internet
access.
g. Try to reboot (unplug the Range Extender from the power outlet and plug it back in) the Range
Extender and check to see if the connection is established (some networks may be very slow and take longer than the allotted time for the Range Extender to successfully connect).
