This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

 Product Overview  Appearance

The RE350 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender is dedicated to Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) wireless network solutions. It will enlarge your existing wireless network and mobility within your wireless network while also allowing you to connect a wired device to a wireless environment. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling will be beneficial for your network.

The extender provides two options to finish the quick setup. Option One: an easy wireless connection to the host network (equipped with

WPS/QSS button) by Using WPS on the front panel. Option Two: Using your Web Browser for installation and management. Even though you may not be familiar with the extender, you can easily

configure it with the help of this guide. Before installing the extender, please look through this guide to get the full information of the extender AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender.

With using IEEE 802.11ac wireless technology, this device can transmit wireless data at the rate of up to 300Mbps (2.4GHz) + 867Mbps (5GHz). With

multiple protection measures, including wireless LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, Wi-Fi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), the extender

AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender delivers complete data privacy. It is also

LEDs. After the LEDs are off, the extender can still work normally.

 Power Button：You can press the Power button to turn on or off the

extender.

 Ethernet Port: One 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port is used to add

wireless connectivity to an Ethernet-enabled device such as Internet TV, DVR, Gaming console and so on. Please note that this port will not run

when it is connected to a router.

For safety, we suggest you plug the extender right way up as the picture shown below.

Connect the Extender to the Internet

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 weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal 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

Wireless router. It’s better 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).

Power On

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

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.
