Setup Instructions

Method 1: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

1. Plug the Jancane WF002 WiFi Extender into a power outlet near your existing router.
2. Turn on the extender using the ON/OFF switch located on the left side of the device.
3. Wait for the power indicator light to stabilize.
4. Press the WPS button on the Jancane WF002 WiFi Extender. The WPS indicator light will start blinking.
5. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your main router.
6. Wait for the WPS indicator light on the extender to become solid, indicating a successful connection.

Method 2: Web Browser Setup (for Repeater Mode)

1. Plug the Jancane WF002 WiFi Extender into a power outlet near your existing router.
2. Turn on the extender with the ON/OFF switch.
3. On your PC or smartphone, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the network named "Repeater-xxxx" (where xxxx are the last four digits of the MAC address).
4. Open a web browser and navigate to the setup page. If it doesn't open automatically, type "192.168.11.1" into the address bar.
5. Log in using the default credentials (usually "admin" for both username and password, or as specified in the manual).
6. Select "Repeater Mode Settings" and click "NEXT".
7. The extender will scan for available WiFi networks. Select the WiFi signal you wish to extend. If your network is hidden, you may need to add it manually.
8. Enter the password for your main router's WiFi network. You can choose to keep the same network name or input a new name for the extended network.
9. Click "Finish" to complete the configuration. The extender will reboot.
10. After reboot, reconnect your devices to the new extended WiFi network.

Operating Modes

The Jancane WF002 WiFi Extender supports two primary operating modes:

• Repeater Mode: In this mode, the extender wirelessly connects to your existing router and amplifies its signal, extending coverage to areas with weak or no signal.
• Access Point (AP) Mode: When connected to your router via an Ethernet cable, the extender creates a new wireless network, effectively turning your wired internet connection into a wireless access point. This is ideal for devices that require a stable wired connection but also need to provide wireless access.

Optimal Placement Guidelines

Proper placement of your WiFi extender is crucial for maximizing signal coverage and performance. After initial setup, relocate the extender to an optimal position:

• Place the extender roughly halfway between your main router and the WiFi dead zone you wish to cover.
• Ensure the extender is within the range of your main router's WiFi signal. If it's too far, it won't receive a strong enough signal to extend effectively.
• Avoid placing the extender too close to the router, as this will not significantly improve coverage in distant areas.
• Minimize physical obstructions like thick walls, metal objects, and large appliances between the extender and your devices, and between the extender and the main router.

Maintenance

• Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Clean the device regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.
• Periodically check for firmware updates on the manufacturer's website to ensure optimal performance and security.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the extender is securely plugged into a working power outlet and the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Cannot Connect to Extender's WiFi: Verify that the extender is powered on. If using web browser setup, ensure you are connecting to the "Repeater-xxxx" network.
• Weak Extended Signal: Relocate the extender to a position closer to your main router but still within the area needing coverage. Avoid obstructions. Refer to "Optimal Placement Guidelines".
• Internet Access Issues: Check if your main router has internet access. Ensure the extender is successfully connected to your main router (solid WPS/signal indicator light). Re-run the setup process if necessary.
• Forgotten Password: If you forget the password for the extended network, you may need to reset the extender to factory settings and reconfigure it.
