SR600EX USER’S GUIDE

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 Pro Smart Repeater may be placed too far from the wireless network that you are trying to repeat. Move your Pro 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 wireless channel and

the network details. 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. Ensure that the network you are repeating has a signal strength of at least 70%. If it does not, reorient the Pro Smart Repeater or your wireless router to achieve a signal strength of 70% or greater.

15

SR600EX USER’S GUIDE

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.

Repeater Settings (SSID)

Amped_Pro_SR

This SSID for the Extended Network may be changed by adjusting the name in the field for the Extended Wireless Network ID.

This ID will be used by wireless users connecting to the Pro Smart Repeater to identify the Pro Smart Repeater’s Extended Network.

It is recommended to use the default settings.
