Note
Please observe the detailed operating instructions
available at www.hama.com. They offer detailed,
useful information on additional options for starting
up and conguring your product.
6.2.1 Start-Up using WPS (WiFi protected setup)
Requirements:
In order for you to use WPS, your existing WLAN router
must support conguration using WPS. In addition, your
WLAN router must be currently using the WPAorWPA 2
WLAN encryption standard, and the SSID (WLAN network
name) of the WLAN router must be set to visible.

Note that some manufacturers use designations
other than WPS. Please read the instructions for your
WLAN router to determine whether and how you can
activate linking via ahardwarebutton (WPS) on your
WLAN router.
To set up the Hama repeater using WPS, proceed as
follows:
•Plug in the Hama repeater in the immediate vicinity
of your WLAN router (we recommend starting up the
device in the same room in which your WLAN router is

instructions for your WLAN router to determine how
long to hold the button.)
•Wait for approx. 3minutes until the connection
between the WLAN router and the repeater is
established.
•The connection has been successfully set up when the
status LED (4) is constantly lit.
