Wi-Fi Extender KWM1000
(included with KS1000)
The KING WiFiMax creates your own private and secure Wi-Fi
network, just like you have in your home. When in range of an
network, and it will extend the internet access from that network to
your own private Wi-Fi network.
SWIFT
Omnidirectional Wi-Fi Antenna KS1000
(not included with KWM1000)
The KING Swift is an omnidirectional Wi-Fi antenna
that increases the range and performance of your
KING WiFiMax router and range extender. This
2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna mounts to your roof, connects
to your KING WiFiMax via a single cable, and allows
your KING WiFiMax to connect to networks from
even farther away and still utilize its 5GHz network for
fastest speeds.

INSTALLATION
• For best performance, the antenna should be located as far away as possible from
other rooftop objects (TV antennas, AC units, etc.) and with the best all around line of
sight.
• When determining locations, make sure the long cable will reach the KING WiFiMax
when attached to the KING Swift cable. (KING Swift cable may go directly to prewire
enclosure - see opposite page).
• Do not locate the KING WiFiMax or KING Swift in a slide-out.
• Cable connection between KING Swift and long cable must always be inside vehicle
(or prewire enclosure if using).
1. Drill 5/16” hole in roof where cable will enter roof. Feed long cable into position with
enough cable sticking out of roof to attach KING Swift cable. This end is marked
“ROOF” and is red.
2. Connect KING Swift cable and long cable.
3. Apply roof-compatible sealant around perimeter of bracket. Feed cable into hole, lower
bracket into position and fasten to roof.
4. Inside vehicle, install wall plate if desired, and connect cable to KING WiFiMax.
You can also use the included
bracket to mount the antenna
to a pole, ladder or mirror.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The KING WiFiMax doesn’t power on (no blue lights on front).
Make sure power supply plug is securely inserted into back of KING WiFiMax. Make
sure the power supply is plugged into a known good power outlet.
Make sure your KING WiFiMax is plugged in. It may take up to a minute for these
networks to appear. Some older devices may be unable to see the 5GHz network.
This is completely okay; just use the KING_XXXXXX network.
Make sure you are connected to your KING WiFiMax’s network. Then make sure you
type in the web address exactly as it appears in this manual: .
Choose WPA/WPA2-PSK under “Encryption Mode” (right above the password box)
to enable password protection.
I don’t see the Upstream WiFi name I want to extend in my list of networks.
If a network is very far away or very weak, the KING WiFiMax may not be able to see
KING WiFiMax to a location closer to your desired network.
Try reloading the page. If the page won’t load, make sure your device is still
connected to the KING WiFiMax. It may have disconnected during the reboot.
The KING WiFiMax doesn’t seem to extend the range of my Wi-Fi, or has trouble
Make sure all 4 antennas (3 if KING Swift is connected) are pointing up. If wall
mounting, antennas must be rotated to point up as well.
Certain types of obstructions (other vehicles, buildings, or large amounts of metal)
can reduce signal levels. Try relocating the KING WiFiMax.
NOTE: KING WiFiMax can be reset by
pressing and holding
the reset button until the front
lights go out (15-20 seconds).
