5.2. Manual Setup (Web Browser Method)

1. Plug the WiFi Booster into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the booster's default Wi-Fi network (usually named 'WiFi-Repeater' or similar, found on the device label).
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or check the user guide for the exact address).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your main Wi-Fi network, enter its password, and configure the booster's settings.
5. Once configured, the booster will restart and extend your network.

6. Operating Modes

The AOOEPU WiFi Booster supports three primary operating modes:

6.1. Repeater Mode

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the coverage of your existing wireless network. It receives the Wi-Fi signal from your main router and re-broadcasts it, effectively expanding the range to areas with weak or no signal. This mode is ideal for large homes or offices with dead zones.

6.2. Access Point (AP) Mode

In AP Mode, the device transforms a wired network connection into a wireless access point. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the booster, and it will create a new Wi-Fi network. This is useful for adding wireless capabilities to a wired-only network or creating a separate Wi-Fi network.

6.3. Router Mode

In Router Mode, the device functions as a basic router, creating a new private network. Connect an Ethernet cable from your modem to the booster, and it will provide both wired and wireless internet access. This mode is suitable for small networks or as a temporary router solution.

7. Maintenance

• Placement: For optimal performance, place the booster in a central location between your router and the area needing extended coverage. Avoid obstructions like thick walls or large metal objects.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure the best performance and security.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. No Power

• Ensure the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Check that the booster is securely plugged into the outlet.

8.2. Weak Signal After Setup

• Relocate the booster closer to your main router.
• Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large appliances) between the booster and your router, or between the booster and your devices.
• Adjust the antennas for better reception.

8.3. Cannot Connect to Booster's Wi-Fi

• Verify that the booster is powered on and its indicator lights are active.
• If using WPS, ensure you pressed the WPS button on both the router and booster within the time limit.
• If using manual setup, double-check the Wi-Fi password entered for your main network.
• Perform a factory reset (press and hold the WPS/Reset button for 10 seconds) and try setting up again.
