Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless networks to repeat.
Highlight your network and click Next to continue.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, the Smart Repeater may be placed too far from the wireless network that you are trying to repeat. Move your Smart Repeater closer to the wireless network that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.
The Scan results page will display information regarding the name of the network (SSID), the channel which the wireless network is operating on and the type of network that it is. AP stands for Access Point and is the standard type of wireless
network. The results page will also display whether or not your network has security and what the signal strength is coming from each specific network detected.

Connecting to a Secure Network
If the wireless network you are trying to repeat has wireless security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a security key. If you did not select a secure network, continue to the next step.
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 Smart Setup Wizard will automatically take care of the rest. If the key you entered is incorrect it will prompt you to enter the key again. If you do not know the key to the network you are trying to repeat, then click Back and select another network.

USER’S GUIDE
If the Home Network connection fails try the following…
a.Check to see that your Home Network security settings are correct.
b.Check that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled.
c.Try changing the channel of the Home Network router to a higher channel number (5-11) and run the Setup Wizard again.
d.If possible, check the Internet connection for your Home Network wireless router. Connect directly to your Home Network wireless router. If you are unable to access the internet through the Home Network wireless router you must first fix this problem. The Smart Repeater 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 Smart Repeater again and retry the Smart Setup Wizard.
e.Return to the Smart Setup Wizard and attempt to connect to another Home Network known to have Internet access.
f.Try to reboot (unplug the power from the Smart Repeater and plug it back in) the Smart Repeater and check to see if the connection is established (some networks may be very slow and take longer than the allotted time for the Smart Repeater to successfully connect).
