1. Power On: Plug the repeater into a power outlet near your main router. Wait for the LED indicators to stabilize.
2. Connect to Repeater WiFi: On your smartphone, go to WiFi settings and connect to the WONLINK_XXXX network (where XXXX is part of the device's MAC address). No password is required initially.
3. Access Web Interface: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari) and enter 192.168.10.1 in the address bar.
4. Login: Enter the default password, which is typically admin, to access the configuration page.
5. Select Mode: Choose your desired operating mode (Repeater, AP, Router, Bridge). For extending your existing WiFi, select "Repeater Mode".
6. Scan and Select Network: The repeater will scan for available WiFi networks. Select your home WiFi network from the list.
7. Enter Password: Enter the password for your home WiFi network. This password should be identical to your router's WiFi password.
8. Save and Restart: Save the settings. The repeater will restart automatically.
9. Reconnect: After the restart, reconnect your devices to the new repeater network (e.g., YourNetwork_EXT or YourNetwork_5G_EXT). The password will be the same as your main router's WiFi password.

3.2 WPS Button Setup (One-Click)

This method is suitable if your main router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

1. Power On: Plug the repeater into a power outlet near your main router.
2. Activate WPS on Router: Press the WPS button on your main router. The WPS LED on your router should start blinking.
3. Activate WPS on Repeater: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your WONLINK AX1500 repeater. The WPS LED on the repeater will also start blinking.
4. Wait for Connection: The devices will automatically connect. This process may take a few moments. Once connected, the WPS LED on both devices should become solid.
5. Relocate Repeater: You can now unplug the repeater and move it to a desired location within the range of your main router's WiFi signal. Ensure the signal strength is good for optimal performance.

The WONLINK AX1500 Repeater supports four distinct operating modes to adapt to various networking needs:

• Repeater Mode: Extends the coverage of an existing WiFi network, eliminating dead zones. Ideal for large homes or offices.
• AP (Access Point) Mode: Connects directly to a router via an Ethernet cable, transforming a wired network into a wireless WiFi 6 signal. Useful for upgrading older routers to WiFi 6.
• Router Mode: Functions as a primary router, creating a new private wireless network from a modem connection.
• Bridge Mode: Allows wired devices (e.g., smart TVs, gaming consoles) to connect to a wireless network via the repeater's Ethernet port.
