Introduction

This chapter covers the following topics:

Before You Begin

Basic Requirements

Quick Setup

Please read this guide carefully before installing and using the device. The operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly

depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can

аОakОn siРnals bв РОttinР in tСО аaв oП вour nОtаork’s radio аavОs arО mОtal appliances or obstructions and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.

In order to optimize the performance of extender, please follow the instructions below to achieve an ideal location (please make sure it is always within the wireless coverage of the wireless router).

●Half-way Between Generally, the ideal location for extender is half-way between the Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless signal is not satisfactory, you may place extender somewhat nearer to the Wireless router.

●Less Obstacles - Clear obstacles in the way between extender and WirОlОss routОr. It’s bОttОr to locate it in a spacious place, such as near the corridors.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

●Less Interference - Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronics, such as cordless phone, microwave, and baby monitor, etc., to minimize signal interference.

Place your extender in a well-ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent.

Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation.

Turn off your extender and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid damage.

Use appropriate Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or above.

Operating temperature of the extender should be 0 ~40 (32 ~104 ).

Operating humidity of the extender should be 10%~90%RH (Non-condensing).

WPS is an easier way to extend your host network. We recommend you to use this way if your host router has a WPS

button. The button might look like one of these: , , . Otherwise, please use Using your web browser.

Power On

Plug the extender into an electrical outlet near your router, and wait until the Power LED is lit and solid blue.

Connect the Extender to the Internet
