3.2 Configuration (Pairing)

To configure the extender, it is recommended to perform the initial pairing next to your main router to increase the success rate.

1. Connect to the Extender's WiFi: On your smartphone or computer, connect to the WiFi network named "TDAir".

2. Access the Configuration Page: Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually found in the Quick Installation Guide or on a label on the device). Enter the administrator password (also found on the device label) to log in.

3. Scan for Networks: In the configuration interface, select the "Survey" option to scan for available WiFi networks. Choose your main router's WiFi network (SSID) from the list.

4. Enter Router Password: Input the password for your main router's WiFi network. Ensure the password is correct; an incorrect password will require a device reset and re-pairing.

5. Set Extender's WiFi Passwords: You can set separate WiFi passwords for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands of the extender. By default, these will be the same as your router's WiFi password.

6. Confirm and Apply: Confirm your settings. The extender will then restart and connect to your router, extending the WiFi signal.

4. Operating Modes

The TODAAIR AC1200 Outdoor WiFi Extender supports two primary operating modes:

4.1 Repeater Mode

In Repeater Mode, the extender wirelessly connects to your existing router and re-transmits the signal, effectively extending the coverage area. This is ideal for eliminating WiFi dead zones.

4.2 Access Point (AP) Mode

In AP Mode, the extender connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and creates a new wireless network. This is useful for converting a wired internet connection into a wireless one, providing a strong and stable WiFi signal in a specific outdoor area.
