Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Drunken Internet Extender WiFi Booster.

Method 1: WPS Button Setup (Recommended for quick setup)

1. Power On the Extender: Plug the Drunken Internet Extender into an electrical outlet near your existing Wi-Fi router. Wait for the power indicator light to stabilize.
2. Press WPS on Extender: Locate the WPS button on your Drunken Extender (refer to the product image for location) and press it. The WPS indicator light should start blinking.
3. Press WPS on Router: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your main Wi-Fi router. The WPS indicator on both devices should blink rapidly and then turn solid, indicating a successful connection.
4. Relocate Extender: Once connected, unplug the extender and move it to a location halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Ensure the signal strength indicator on the extender shows a good connection to your router.
5. Connect to Extended Network: Your extended Wi-Fi network will typically have the same name as your original network with "_EXT" or "_Plus" appended (e.g., MyWiFi_EXT). Connect your devices to this new network using your original Wi-Fi password.

Method 2: Web Browser Setup (For advanced configuration or if WPS fails)

1. Power On and Connect: Plug the extender into an electrical outlet near your router. Connect your computer or smartphone to the extender's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Drunken_Extender" or similar, usually found on a label on the device). No password is required for the initial connection.
2. Access Setup Page: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and enter the default IP address or web address provided in the extender's quick start guide (e.g., http://192.168.1.254 or http://reapeter.net).
3. Log In: Enter the default username and password (usually "admin" for both, or as specified in the guide).
4. Follow On-Screen Instructions: The setup wizard will guide you through selecting your existing Wi-Fi network, entering its password, and configuring the extended network's name (SSID). You can choose to keep the same SSID or create a new one.
5. Apply Settings and Relocate: Save the settings. The extender will restart. Once restarted, unplug it and move it to an optimal location between your router and the desired coverage area.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, the Drunken Internet Extender operates automatically to boost your Wi-Fi signal. Here are some operational considerations:

Optimal Placement:

For best performance, place the extender in a location where it receives a strong signal from your main router and can effectively broadcast to the areas needing coverage. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, microwave ovens, or other devices that may cause interference. The ideal location is typically halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone.

Connecting Devices:

• Wireless Devices: On your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other Wi-Fi enabled device, search for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the extended network's SSID (e.g., "MyWiFi_EXT") and enter the password (which is the same as your main router's password).
• Wired Devices: For devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, or desktop computers that benefit from a stable wired connection, use an Ethernet cable to connect them to the RJ45 port on the Drunken Extender.

Dual-Band Operation:

The extender supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. The 5GHz band offers faster speeds and is ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like 4K streaming and online gaming. The 2.4GHz band provides wider coverage and is suitable for general browsing and smart home devices. The extender intelligently prioritizes traffic to ensure optimal performance for all connected devices.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Drunken Internet Extender, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Keep it Clean: Periodically wipe the exterior of the extender with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Ventilation: Ensure the extender's ventilation holes are not blocked to prevent overheating. Do not place it in enclosed spaces.
• Firmware Updates: Check the Drunken official website periodically for firmware updates. Updating the firmware can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security. Follow the instructions provided on the website carefully.
• Restart Periodically: Like most electronic devices, occasionally restarting the extender (unplugging it for 10 seconds and plugging it back in) can help resolve minor issues and improve stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Drunken Internet Extender, try the following troubleshooting steps:

No Internet Connection:

• Check Router: Ensure your main Wi-Fi router is working correctly and has an active internet connection.
• Extender Placement: Relocate the extender closer to your main router to ensure it receives a strong signal. The signal indicator lights on the extender can help determine optimal placement.
• Restart Devices: Restart both your main router and the Drunken Extender. Also, restart the device you are trying to connect.
• Reconfigure: If the issue persists, try reconfiguring the extender using either the WPS method or the web browser setup.

Weak Signal or Slow Speed:

• Optimize Placement: Adjust the extender's position to minimize obstacles and interference.
• Antenna Adjustment: Ensure the extender's antennas are positioned for optimal signal reception and transmission.
• Interference: Move the extender away from other electronic devices that might cause interference (e.g., cordless phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices).
• Network Congestion: If many devices are connected, consider disconnecting unused devices or using the 5GHz band for high-bandwidth activities.

Cannot Connect to Extended Network:

• Correct Password: Double-check that you are entering the correct Wi-Fi password for the extended network. It should be the same as your main router's password unless you changed it during setup.
• Extender Status: Verify that the extender's indicator lights show it is properly connected to your main router.
• Forget Network: On your device, "forget" the extended Wi-Fi network and then try to reconnect.

Resetting the Extender:

If all else fails, you can perform a factory reset. This will revert all settings to their default values, requiring you to set up the extender again.

• With the extender powered on, use a paperclip or a thin object to press and hold the Reset button (usually a small pinhole) for about 5-10 seconds until the lights flash.
• Release the button and wait for the extender to restart.
