connected to your router/access point.
My network is using a
static IP address, how
do I assign an IP
address to my
wireless extender?
You can modify the IP address of the wireless bridge
using the browser based configuration interface.
Please refer to
III-4-3. Administration Utility.
My wireless extender
has a poor signal
from my access
point/router.
The best location to place the Wi-Fi extender is one
which is an open space, roughly in the middle
between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone, and
where the Wi-Fi extender LED displays
“Excellent”
signal strength. See
II-5. Choosing the Best Location
for Your Wi-Fi Extender.
a.
Keep the extender away from other radio devices
such as microwaves or wireless telephones.
b.
Do not put the extender in the corner of a room or
under/nearby metal.
c.
It is recommended to plug the extender directly
into a wall socket. If it is necessary to use a multiple
socket adapter then avoid placing the adapter on
the floor.
d.
Ensure there are as few obstacles as possible
between the extender and the access point/router.
Can I use the same
SSID as my current
gateway router for
my Wi-Fi extender?
Yes, but it is not recommended as it will be difficult to
distinguish between two SSIDs with the same name.
