RangeMaster Antenna and Router:

The RangeMaster Wifi Router Kit allows you to connect to a remote
WiFi access point and share the connection with all your WiFi devices
such as smartphones, tablets, laptop computers etc.

1. Assemble the suction mount and clips as shown below:

2. Screw the antenna to the base section and connect the USB cable

from from the base to the router and
mount the antenna on the side of your
motorhome or caravan using the
suction mount as shown on the right.

The higher you can get the antenna
the better and try to position it so as
much of the antenna as possible
clears the roof of the vehicle.

Connect the power to the router using the included mains adapter or
12V lead (Note: Do NOT connect to a 24V outlet).

devices please install a different web browser such as Chrome
or Firefox mobile to work around this issue.

Troubleshooting

Q: It times out when I enter 192.168.2.1 in my browser.

A: Make sure you are entering it in the address bar at the top of the
browser not a search box and double check that your device is
connected to the RANGEMASTER WiFi network.

Q: After saving settings I get stuck on “Saving … Please wait a
moment ….”, “Rebooting…” or it times out.

A: This happens because the router restarts after the settings are
saved and in the brief interval that its WiFi network isn’t visible your
computer/tablet etc. may reconnect to another available WiFi network
that you have used before.

If this happens just verify that you are still connected to the
RangeMaster WiFi network and then go to 192.168.2.1 again to check
your connection.

Q: My caravan site or WiFi operator has given me a user name
and password, where do I enter this?

A: For this type of network make sure you do not enter a password in
step 7. When you get to the end of the process and try to access a
web page the caravan sites network should ask you for the login
details they gave you. This is the case for most caravan site
networks, Airangel and pubic hotspots such as The Cloud, BT
Openzone, Sky WiFi and O2 WiFi Openzone, Sky WiFi and O2 WiFi.

Q: I have set up security and have forgotten my password.

A: The only way round this is to reset the router to factory settings. To
do this power the router on and then press and hold the reset button*
on the bottom of the router for 5 seconds and release, then wait for
the router to restart.
*The reset button is the small red button recessed in a hole on the
bottom of the router.
