4.2. Manual Setup via Web Browser

1. Plug the WiFi Extender into a power outlet near your existing router.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the extender's default WiFi network (e.g., 'AOOEPU_EXT' or similar, usually found on a label on the device). No password is required initially.
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address or domain name (e.g., 192.168.10.1 or repeater.net) provided in the Quick Installation Guide.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in (default username/password is usually 'admin'/'admin') and select your desired operating mode (Repeater, AP, or Router).
5. If selecting Repeater mode, choose your existing WiFi network from the list and enter its password.
6. Configure the extender's network name (SSID) and password. It is recommended to use a different SSID to distinguish it from your main network.
7. Complete the setup. The extender will restart.
8. Relocate the extender to an optimal position and connect your devices to the new extended network.

5. Operating Modes

The AOOEPU WD-R1200U supports three primary operating modes:

• Repeater Mode: Extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. This is the most common use case for a WiFi extender.
• Access Point (AP) Mode: Converts a wired network connection into a wireless one. Ideal for areas with Ethernet access but no WiFi.
• Router Mode: Functions as a primary router, creating a new private wireless network from a modem connection.
