4. Operating Instructions

The SH24Gi1000-D2 operates as a bi-directional amplifier, automatically switching between transmit and receive modes. Once properly installed and powered on, the booster will begin amplifying your WiFi signal. A green LED indicator will illuminate to show active transmission.

• Signal Activity LED: The booster features an LED that indicates signal activity, allowing you to confirm its operational status.
• Automatic Operation: The device automatically manages signal transmission and reception, requiring no manual configuration after initial setup.
• Optimal Input Power: For best performance, the input power range should be between 12-15dBm. Input power too low may result in reduced output, while excessively high input power (near or above 20dBm) can cause signal attenuation.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WiFi signal booster, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the device to moisture or liquids.
• Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Proper Ventilation: Ensure the booster is placed in an area with adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
• Secure Connections: Periodically check that all cables and antennas are securely connected.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Sunhans SH24Gi1000-D2, try the following:

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is correctly plugged into both the booster and a working electrical outlet. Check the power adapter for any visible damage.
• Weak Signal / No Improvement:
  • Verify all cable connections between the router, booster, and antennas are tight.
  • Ensure the input power from your router is within the recommended range (0-20dBm, with 12-15dBm being optimal).
  • Check for potential sources of interference (e.g., other electronic devices, thick walls).
  • Confirm the antennas are correctly oriented for optimal signal propagation.
• Intermittent Connection: Check for loose connections or environmental factors that might be causing signal drops.
