4. Setup

4.1. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Configuration

WPS provides a simple way to connect your repeater to your existing Wi-Fi network without manual configuration.

1. Plug the SQUADO WiFi Repeater into a power outlet near your main router. Wait for the Power LED to light up.
2. Press and hold the WPS button on the SQUADO Repeater for 3-5 seconds. The WPS LED on the repeater will start blinking.
3. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your main Wi-Fi router.
4. Wait for approximately 30-60 seconds for the devices to pair. The Wi-Fi LED on the repeater should turn solid, indicating a successful connection.

4.2. Manual Configuration (Web Interface)

If your router does not support WPS or you prefer manual setup, follow these general steps:

1. Plug the SQUADO WiFi Repeater into a power outlet.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the repeater's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Wireless-N" or similar, usually found on a sticker on the device). No password is required initially.
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (e.g., 192.168.10.1) or web address (e.g., repeater.net) provided in the quick start guide or on the device sticker.
4. Log in using the default username and password (e.g., admin/admin).
5. Follow the on-screen wizard to select your existing Wi-Fi network and enter its password.
6. Configure the repeater's network name (SSID) and password if desired.
7. Save the settings and wait for the repeater to restart. The Wi-Fi LED should indicate a successful connection.

4.3. Optimal Placement

For best performance, place the repeater in a location where it can receive a good signal from your main router and effectively extend coverage to desired areas. The LED indicators on the repeater help determine the optimal position:

• Strong Signal: All signal LEDs are lit (e.g., green). This indicates an excellent connection to the router.
• Weak Signal: Only one or two signal LEDs are lit (e.g., yellow or red). Move the repeater closer to the router.
• No Signal: No signal LEDs are lit. The repeater is too far from the router.

5. Operating

Once configured, the SQUADO WiFi Repeater operates automatically. It extends your existing Wi-Fi network, allowing devices to connect to the repeater's signal for improved coverage and speed. Your devices will automatically switch between your router and the repeater's signal as you move around, provided the repeater is configured with the same SSID as your main network.

The repeater is compatible with a wide range of devices, including PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and more.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Placement: Ensure the device is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Power Cycle: If the device experiences issues, try unplugging it from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the repeater is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the Power LED is lit.
• Cannot Connect to Repeater's Wi-Fi: Ensure the repeater is powered on. If you are setting it up manually, ensure you are connecting to its default Wi-Fi network.
• No Internet Access After Setup:
  • Verify that your main router has internet access.
  • Check the signal strength LEDs on the repeater. If the signal is weak or non-existent, reposition the repeater closer to your main router.
  • Ensure you entered the correct Wi-Fi password for your main router during setup.
  • Try resetting the repeater to factory defaults (press and hold the Reset button) and reconfigure it.
• WPS Setup Fails: Ensure both the repeater and router are WPS-enabled and you are pressing the WPS buttons within the specified time frame. Try manual configuration if WPS continues to fail.
• Slow Speed: Ensure the repeater is placed in an optimal location with good signal strength from the main router. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or appliances that may cause interference.
