TIP

If the computer you used to set up the repeater can access the internet, it means that you have successfully configured the device, and that other computers in the LAN should also be able to do the same. If they don’t, verify that the Internet Protocol is set to obtain the IP and DNS settings automatically. To do so, right click Network > Properties > Change adapter settings, followed by Local area connections > Properties. Next, double click on Internet protocol version (4 or 6 based on your connection) and finish by selecting Obtain DNS server and IP address automatically.

Please note that the path indicated above relates to Windows 7. Other operating systems may differ, so make sure to follow the instructions of the operating system you are using.

If you later wish to customize your wireless router configuration, click on the Advanced Settings menu. Among the parameters you can modify are: SSID, IP address, DHCP, MAC address filtering, extender mode, security settings, etc.
