Maintenance

The INEAUTO AX1800 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and IP67 weatherproof rating. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance:

• Periodic Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Antenna Check: Periodically ensure the antennas are securely attached and positioned for the best signal.
• Cable Inspection: Check the Ethernet cable for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• PoE Adapter Protection: As the PoE adapter is not waterproof, ensure it remains in a dry, protected environment.

The extender is built to withstand various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AX1800 extender, try the following steps:

• No Power/LED Off: Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into a working outlet and the Ethernet cable is correctly connected to the PoE port on both the adapter and the extender.
• No Internet Connection: Verify that your main router has an active internet connection. Check all Ethernet cable connections. If in repeater mode, ensure the extender is within range of your main router's signal.
• Weak Signal/Slow Speed: Adjust the position and orientation of the extender's antennas. Relocate the extender to a more central location between your router and the desired coverage area. Check for physical obstructions.
• Cannot Access Setup Page: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Repeater_XXX"). Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
• Resetting the Extender: If issues persist, a factory reset may be necessary. Locate the reset button (often a small pinhole) on the unit. With the extender powered on, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for approximately 10 seconds until the LED indicators change. This will restore the extender to its factory default settings.
