Quick Setup

1. Have your Macintosh computer operate as usual, and click on “System

Preferences”.

2. In System Preferences, click on “Network”.

3. Here you will see all of your network connections. Remove any Ethernet

cable that may be connected, so that the “Ethernet”status in the left

sidebar displays “Not Connected”, as shown below. Then, you need to

ensure that your Macintosh’s Wi-Fi is switched off. Select “Wi-Fi”from the

left sidebar.

4. If your Wi-Fi is switched on, click on the button labeled “Turn Wi-Fi Off”.

The “Network”screen should now look like the screen below, where under

the heading “Wi-Fi”in the left sidebar, the status is shown as “Off”.

5. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your

computer. Then connect the other end to an Ethernet port on the access

point, as shown below. Plug the power adapter into the device’s 5V power

port, and plug the adapter into a wall socket.

The PWR LED and corresponding LAN LED on the access point should now

light up.

6. Network Preferences will now display an Ethernet adapter, as shown below.

The status of “Ethernet”should be “Connected”.

7. Click on “Ethernet”in the left panel and then click the drop down arrow for

the menu labeled “Configure IPv4”in the right panel. From the drop down

menu, select “Manually”.

Note: The access point uses the default IP address

192.168.2.1, which may not be in the same IP

address subnet of your network. Accordingly, you

need to modify the IP address of your Macintosh to

192.168.2.10, as shown in the next step.

Note: Please refer to the user manual for guidance

on how to assign a new IP address to the access

point. If the default IP remains unchanged, you will

need to repeat this process and modify the IP of

your Macintosh every time you wish to configure

the access point.

8. In the panel on the right side, enter IP address 192.168.2.10 and subnet

mask 255.255.255.0. Click on “Apply”.

9. In the left sidebar, “Ethernet”should now display “Connected”as shown

below. In the right panel, you should see the IP address 192.168.2.10 and

subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

10. Open your internet browser and enter http://192.168.2.1 in the address

box. In the pop up window, enter the following username and password:

Username: admin

Password: 1234

Click “Log In”.

11. This will open the access point’s web management interface, which allows

you to configure the functions and settings of the access point. Please refer

to the user manual for more information about configuration; the following

is an example of how to set the access point to “Universal Repeater”mode.

Universal Repeater Mode

1. On the “Status and Information”page, click “Basic Setting”in the left menu.

Then click the arrow to open the menu labeled “Mode”. Select “Universal

Repeater”mode.

Click the “Select Site Survey”button. You will see a list of available Wi-Fi

networks, as shown below. Choose your Wi-Fi network and click on “Done”. If

your Wi-Fi network is not shown, “Refresh”the list of available networks, then

“select”your Wi-Fi network.

Note: Make a note of the “Encryption”listed for

your Wi-Fi network, as you will need it later in this

procedure, during Step 4. In this example,

“Encryption”is “WPA1PSK WPA2PSK’.

Note: PSK means “Pre-Shared Key”.

Click “Done”to close this window.

2. The “Root AP SSID”is your main Wi-Fi router. The “MAIN ESSID”is the SSID

of the repeater. Click the box labeled “MAIN ESSID”and enter a name for

reference. In the example below we used the name “repeater”. Different

SSIDs ensure that you can easily differentiate between devices. Click on

“Apply”.
