Setup Instructions

The Generic WiFi Extender offers two primary working modes: Repeater Mode and AP Mode. Choose the mode that best suits your network requirements.

1. Repeater Mode (Wireless to Wireless)

This mode extends the wireless signal of your existing router to cover a wider area. You will need the username and password of your original wireless signal.

1. Plug the WiFi Extender into a power outlet.
2. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid.
3. WPS Setup (Recommended for quick setup):
   • Press the WPS button on the WiFi Extender.
   • Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your main wireless router.
   • The extender will automatically connect to your router. Once connected, the WiFi LED on the extender will turn solid.
4. Manual Setup (via Web Browser/App):
   • Connect your mobile device or computer to the extender's default WiFi network (e.g., "WiFiRepeater-XXXX").
   • Open a web browser and enter the default IP address or domain (refer to the manual for specific details, often `192.168.1.254` or `repeater.net`).
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to select your existing WiFi network and enter its password.
   • The extender will reboot and create an extended network with a new name (e.g., "YourNetworkName_EXT").
5. Place the extender in a location halfway between your router and the desired coverage area for optimal signal strength.

This diagram shows the three steps for quick setup: 1. Press the Repeater's WPS Button, 2. Press the Router's WPS Button, 3. Place the Repeater in desired location. This method simplifies connecting the extender to your existing router.

2. AP Mode (Wired to Wireless)

This mode converts a wired network connection into a wireless one, ideal for locations like hotels, apartments, or offices where a wired internet connection is available.

1. Plug the WiFi Extender into a power outlet.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your wired internet source (e.g., wall port) to the LAN port on the WiFi Extender.
3. The extender will automatically create a wireless network. No further setup is typically required; it's plug and play.

Operating the WiFi Extender

LED Indicators:

The LEDs on the device provide important status information:

• Power LED: Indicates if the device is powered on.
• WPS LED: Lights up during WPS pairing process.
• WiFi LED: Indicates wireless network activity and connection status.
• LAN LED: Indicates activity on the Ethernet port.

Connecting to the Extended Network:

After successful setup, your extended WiFi network will appear in your device's WiFi list. Connect to this network using the password you configured during setup (or your original router's password if you chose to keep it the same).

This image demonstrates the versatility of the WiFi Extender, showing how it can expand network coverage in different environments such as homes, coffee shops, libraries, hotels, and offices, ensuring a stable connection across various settings.

This diagram visually represents how the WiFi Extender improves signal strength in a multi-story home. It shows the main router's coverage, areas with low or no signal, and how the extender boosts the signal to cover previously dead zones, indicating an 87% signal improvement in a previously weak area.

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the device in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Ensure the device is securely plugged into an outlet and not obstructed.

Troubleshooting

No Signal or Weak Signal:

• Relocate the Extender: Move the extender closer to your main router. The ideal location is halfway between your router and the area needing extended coverage.
• Check LED Indicators: Ensure the WiFi LED is solid, indicating a successful connection to your main router. If not, re-perform the setup process.
• Obstructions: Minimize physical obstructions (thick walls, large appliances) between the extender and your devices, and between the extender and the main router.

Cannot Access Setup Page:

• Verify Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's default WiFi network.
• Correct Address: Double-check the IP address or domain entered in the web browser.
• Reset the Extender: If issues persist, use a sharp object to press and hold the Reset button (located near the LAN port) for 5-10 seconds until the LEDs flash. This will restore factory settings, and you will need to reconfigure the device.
