3. Setup Instructions

Before beginning the setup, ensure your Aigital N300 is plugged into a power outlet near your main router or modem.

Initial Connection:

1. Plug the WiFi Repeater into an electrical outlet.
2. Wait for the power indicator light to become stable.
3. On your phone, computer, or laptop, connect to the Wi-Fi network named "wifi repeater". This is the default network broadcast by the extender.

Configuration via Web Browser:

1. Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
2. In the address bar, type 192.168.10.1 and press Enter.
3. You will be prompted to log in. The default username and password are typically admin (or as specified in the included mini-manual).
4. Follow the on-screen wizard to select your desired operating mode (Repeater or AP).

Resetting the Device:

If you need to reconfigure the device or encounter issues, you can perform a factory reset:

• With the device powered on, locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole).
• Use a paperclip or a similar pointed object to press and hold the reset button for over 10 seconds.
• Release the button when the power light and WPS light turn on, and the WLAN light blinks. The device will restart with factory default settings.

4. Operating Modes

4.1. Repeater Mode (Range Extender)

This mode is used to extend the coverage of your existing Wi-Fi network. It is ideal when your primary Wi-Fi signal is weak or non-existent in certain areas of your home or office, such as a yard, other rooms, a second floor, a basement, or a garage.

Setup Steps for Repeater Mode:

1. After logging into the web interface (192.168.10.1), select "Repeater Mode".
2. The extender will scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list.
3. Enter the exact password for your home Wi-Fi network. Important: The password must be identical to your main Wi-Fi password for internet access.
4. You can choose to keep the same SSID (network name) or create a new one for the extended network.
5. Save the settings and wait for the extender to restart. Once restarted, the WLAN indicator should be stable, indicating a successful connection.

4.2. AP Mode (Access Point)

This mode transforms a wired internet connection into a wireless Wi-Fi hotspot. It is useful if you have a modem but no router, or if you want to add Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network, allowing wireless devices like phones and tablets to connect.

Setup Steps for AP Mode:

1. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet Cable from your modem or wired network to the LAN port of the Aigital N300 extender.
2. After logging into the web interface (192.168.10.1), select "AP Mode".
3. Configure the new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
4. Save the settings and wait for the extender to restart. Once restarted, your new Wi-Fi network will be available for connection.

5. Troubleshooting

• No Internet Access in Repeater Mode: Ensure the password entered for your home Wi-Fi network during setup is exactly the same. Any mismatch will prevent internet access. Try resetting the device and reconfiguring.
• Cannot Access Configuration Page (192.168.10.1): Ensure your device is connected to the "wifi repeater" network. If still unable, try resetting the extender to factory defaults and attempt connection again.
• Weak Signal After Setup: Relocate the extender to a position that is halfway between your main router and the area where you need improved Wi-Fi coverage. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Device Not Powering On: Check the power outlet and ensure the extender is securely plugged in.
• Setup Video: For visual guidance, a setup video is available at https://youtu.be/3uoGpCGlTWk.
