INSTALLATION AND SETUP
1Introduction and Safety Information
The compact design, allows you to install the P40 everywhere and still provide excellent network performance to extend the Wi-Fi signal and wireless coverage. This P40 is designed for indoor use only. DO NOT expose this device to direct sunlight, rain, or snow.
c Caution: DO NOT put the P40 in or near hot or humid places, like the kitchen or bathroom. Also, do
not leave the P40 in the car during the summer.
The P40 will become hot when being used for a long time (this is normal and is not a malfunction). DO NOT put the P40 on paper, cloth, or other flammable objects.
Difference between client/repeater mode:
In Client Mode, your P40 will act as a client, connecting wirelessly to your existing wireless network. You can then connect physically through the Ethernet port on the bottom of the P40 to whatever device you want to provide internet connectivity to.
In Repeater Mode, your P40 will act as an access point, rebroadcasting your wireless signal from the next closest AP.
2Access and Setup for Repeater Mode
The switch on the bottom of the P40 should be on “Repeater.”
The P40 setup can be initiated two ways; choose the one below that works best for you:
Option 1. Open an Internet Browser. Using your OS settings, connect to a wireless network called “repeater.setup” (no password required).
Option 2. Open an Internet Browser. Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to the Ethernet port on the P40.
After performing either Option 1 or 2, a login window will open in your Internet Browser to start the setup of the P40. The default username and password are both “admin.”
Default IP: 192.168.1.1 Username: admin
Password: admin
After logging in, click “Continue” to start the setup wizard or you can click “Skip Wizard” to see the main menu.
After clicking “Continue,” the P40 will scan for and display a list of the wireless networks (SSIDs) it can see. Select yours, then click “Continue.” If you don’t see your network, you can click “Refresh” to refresh the list.
You will be prompted to enter a password for that wireless network (SSID). Enter the exact same password you use for that existing wireless network (SSID). It is case sensitive. Click “Continue.”
When setting the P40 up in Repeater Mode, you will be asked if you would like to extend a second network on another frequency. This is so you can extend both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks for better coverage. This page will not show up if you are using the P40 as a bridge client. Select “Yes” or “No” and follow the steps past the password again.
You will be asked if you want to use the same wireless name (SSID) as the one you’re extending or if you want to customize the wireless name (SSID) you want the P40 to broadcast. Make your selection and then click “Continue.”
n Note: Changing the network name (SSID) does not a ect how the P40 connects to your current wireless
network, and you will not see this page when setting up the P40 in Client Mode.
