First, we will learn what Wireless-N WiFi repeater is: It is a device which helps in enhancing the internet network in poor area of your house. Poor area is basically a location, where internet strength is weak and range is less. Wireless-N WiFi Repeater is easy to setup. So, let’s discuss how we can install the Wireless-N WiFi repeater setup.
1.First of all
plugin the Wireless-N WiFi Repeater into a wall socket near your main router.
2.Now, you
have to connect your main router to repeater’s network. To connect there are
two ways:
Wireless Connection:
ØGo to the list of available WiFi networks on your computer or smart
phone.
ØAnd connect with the repeater’s network
Wired Connection:
ØYou have to use an Ethernet cable to connect the repeater directly
with your router.
ØTo connect, you have to insert one side of an Ethernet cable to the
repeater and other side to the router.
3.After
connecting router and repeater, you have to now launch a web browser. Type
myrepeater.net or 192.168.10.1 into the address bar.
4.You will be
now prompted to WiFi repeater login page. Enter a username and password. Check the user manual for
credentials.
5.Once you are
logged in, you will see a ‘Repeater Mode’ option. Select this mode and allow
the repeater to connect to your main WiFi network.
6.You have to
click on the option to scan for available WiFi networks. The repeater will
display a list of nearby networks. Select your main router network from the
list. Enter the password for your existing WiFi network to allow the repeater
to connect.
7.Now you have
to set up the extended network. You can usually set the name of the extended
network as per your convenience. You may either, use the same SSID as your
original network or create a different name so you can easily distinguish
between the main router and the repeater.
8.After
configuring the settings, save them. And your setup is done.
9.Once setup
is complete, unplug the repeater and relocate it to the desired position.
Repeater should be placed such way that lies between your router and the area
where network is poor.
10.Make sure
the repeater is still within range of the router’s signal for optimal
performance. A good indicator of positioning is when the repeater’s signal LED
is showing a strong connection.
