1. Plug the repeater into a power outlet.
2. Connect your computer or smartphone to the repeater's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Cluvox_EXT").
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address or URL (check the manual included in the box for specific details, usually 192.168.10.1 or re.tenda.cn).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your existing Wi-Fi network and enter its password.
5. Set a new Wi-Fi name and password for the extended network, or choose to keep the same as your main router.

Operating Modes

The Cluvox WiFi Repeater offers three main operating modes:

1. Repeater Mode (Default)

Extends the Wi-Fi coverage of an existing wireless network. This is ideal for eliminating dead zones and improving signal strength in areas far from your main router.

2. AP Mode (Access Point)

Converts a wired network connection into a wireless one. Connect the repeater to your wired router or Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable, and it will broadcast a new Wi-Fi signal.

3. Router Mode

Functions as a basic router, creating a new private network from a modem connection. This mode is suitable if you only have a modem and need to create a Wi-Fi network.

Connecting Devices

Wireless Devices

After successful setup, your extended Wi-Fi network will appear with a new name (e.g., your original Wi-Fi name + "_EXT" or "_5G_EXT"). Connect your smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, security cameras, and printers to this new network using the same password as your main router.

Troubleshooting

Repeater Stops Working or Indicator Light is Off:

This issue can occur due to several reasons:

• Too many routers in the network.
• The product has been operating continuously for too long.
• Interference from the router's signal source.

Solution: First, unplug the repeater. Wait for 3-5 minutes, then plug it back in. The repeater has a memory function and should automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi and function normally. If it still does not work, a factory reset may be required.
