Figure 3: Visual guide for the WPS setup process.

1. Step 1: Power On and Press Repeater's WPS Button

   Plug the WiFi Repeater into a power outlet. Wait for the power indicator light to stabilize. Then, press the WPS button on the side of the repeater.

2. Step 2: Press Router's WPS Button

   Within two minutes of pressing the repeater's WPS button, press the WPS button on your main WiFi router. The devices will automatically attempt to connect and configure.

3. Step 3: Position the Repeater

   Once the connection is established (indicated by the signal strength LEDs on the repeater), unplug the repeater and move it to a desired location between your router and the area with weak WiFi signal. Ensure the signal strength indicators show a good connection to the main router.

For manual setup or if your router does not have a WPS button, please refer to the detailed instructions provided in the full digital manual available on the manufacturer's website.

Operating Modes

The LifflyLadys WiFi Repeater supports two primary operating modes to suit various network needs.

Figure 4: Illustration of Repeater Mode and AP Mode configurations.

1. Repeater Mode:

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the coverage of your existing wireless network. It receives the wireless signal from your main router and re-transmits it, effectively boosting the signal strength and eliminating dead zones. This mode is ideal for large homes or offices where the primary router's signal struggles to reach all areas.

• Extends existing WiFi coverage.
• Uses the same SSID (network name) as your main router or a new one.
• Ideal for improving signal strength in areas with weak reception.

2. AP (Access Point) Mode:

In AP Mode, the device connects to a wired network (e.g., via an Ethernet cable from a modem or router) and transforms it into a new wireless network. This is useful for adding wireless capability to a wired-only network or creating a separate WiFi network.

• Creates a new wireless network from a wired connection.
• Requires an Ethernet cable connection to a modem or router.
• Useful for converting a wired network into a wireless one.

• Check the signal strength indicators on the repeater. If they show weak or no signal, reposition the repeater closer to your main router.
• Perform a WPS setup again or try manual configuration.
• Ensure the repeater's firmware is up to date.

Slow Connection Speed:

• Reposition the repeater to optimize signal strength. Avoid placing it near obstructions or interference sources.
• Ensure your main router is providing adequate speed.
• Reduce the number of devices connected to the repeater if possible.
