9. My BR-6208AC has a weak wireless signal. Weak signals are usually caused by interference from other devices or obstacles blocking the BR-6208AC's wireless signal: a. Keep the device away from other radio devices such as microwaves or cordless phones. b. Do not put the device in the corner of a room or under/nearby metal. c. Ensure there are as few obstacles as possible between the BR-6208AC and your wireless network device. In range extender mode, the BR-6208AC's weak wireless signal may be in turn caused by a weak signal from your existing router. It's important to choose a good location for the BR-6208AC in relation to your existing wireless router. The best location is roughly in the middle between your existing wireless router and the area you would like to be covered by the BR-6208AC. If you are too far away from your existing router, then it is difficult for the BR-6208AC to receive a wireless signal. 10.Do the Internet and LAN ports work the same when the device is in different modes? No, the Internet and LAN ports have slightly different functions depending on the operating mode of the device. a. In Wi-Fi router mode, the Internet port is for a direct connection to your xDSL modem. The LAN ports are for wired network clients. b. In access point mode, the Internet port is not functional. Connect your existing router to the device's LAN port, and the other LAN ports can connect wired network clients. c. In range extender mode, the Internet port is not functional and the all of LAN ports are for wired network clients. Do not connect your existing router to the device's Internet or LAN ports, as this can cause the device to malfunction. d. In wireless bridge mode, the Internet port is not functional and the all of LAN ports are for wired network clients. e. In WISP mode, the Internet port is not functional and the all of LAN ports are for wired network clients. 11. A firmware upgrade failed and the BR-6208AC isn't working. Firmware upgrade failures can happen occasionally due to power cuts or unstable connections. In this scenario, you need to first connect a computer to one of your BR-6208AC's LAN ports using an Ethernet cable. Then you need to modify your computer's IP address to 192.168.2.x where x is any value between 3 and 254. Refer to IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your computer if you 153
