3.2 WPS One-Touch Setup (Repeater Mode)

The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function allows for a quick and easy connection to your existing router without manual configuration.

1. Plug the Repeater into a power outlet. Wait for the power indicator light to stabilize.
2. Press the WPS button on your host router.
3. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the NETVIP WiFi Repeater. The WPS indicator light on the repeater will flash.
4. Wait for 1-2 minutes for the connection to establish. The signal strength indicator lights on the repeater will illuminate, indicating a successful connection.

3.3 Manual Setup via Web Interface

If your router does not support WPS, or for advanced configuration, you can set up the repeater via its web interface.

1. Plug the Repeater into a power outlet.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the repeater's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Wireless-N" or "NETVIP_XXXX"). No password is required initially.
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.10.1) or the default web address (check the included manual for specifics, often ap.setup or repeater.setup).
4. Log in using the default username and password (usually admin/admin).
5. Follow the on-screen wizard to select your desired mode (Repeater or AP).
6. For Repeater Mode: Select your existing Wi-Fi network from the list, enter its password, and optionally change the repeater's SSID (network name) and password.
7. For AP Mode: Connect an Ethernet cable from your main router to the repeater's RJ45 port. Then, configure a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for the repeater.
8. Save the settings and wait for the repeater to restart. Your devices can now connect to the extended or new Wi-Fi network.

4. Operating the Device

4.1 LED Indicators

The repeater features several LED indicators to show its status:

• Power LED: Indicates if the device is powered on.
• WPS LED: Flashes during WPS setup, solid when WPS connection is active.
• Wi-Fi/Signal LED: Indicates Wi-Fi activity and signal strength. Multiple lights usually mean a stronger signal.
• LAN LED: Indicates activity on the Ethernet port.

4.2 Connecting Devices

Once the repeater is set up, you can connect your wireless devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles, etc.) to the extended Wi-Fi network. The network name (SSID) will be either the same as your main router (if you chose to keep it) or a new one you configured during setup.

Figure 4.1: The repeater supports connection for up to 20 devices, including phones, pads, laptops, smart bulbs, smart plugs, and smart cameras.

4.3 Optimal Placement

For best performance, place the repeater halfway between your router and the area where you need improved Wi-Fi coverage. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the exterior of the repeater with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.

5.2 Resetting the Device

If the device is not functioning correctly or you wish to revert to factory settings, you can perform a factory reset. Locate the small "Reset" button (often recessed) on the device. Use a paperclip or a thin object to press and hold the button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator lights flash, then release. The device will restart with factory default settings.
