4. If required, type the network password and click OK to confirm.

You will see a confirmation message when you are connected to

the network.

Note: wired connection
You can also connect the repeater to your computer with an RJ45

network cable.

9. Connect the repeater using WPS
WPS is an automated way of connecting wireless devices.

The repeater supports WPS. If your router supports WPS, it will have

a WPS button
Note: WPS may change network security key on router
On some wireless router brands, pressing the WPS button changes

the router’s existing network security key. This means you would

have to reset all network security key on the devices you are already

using. If you want to avoid this, connect the repeater manually (see

section 7 Setup above).

To connect your router to the repeater using WPS:

1. Plug the repeater to a wall socket.

2. Make sure the repeater is set to Wireless Repeater Mode in the

configuration tool (see section 7.3 above).

3. On your router, press and hold the WPS button (check your

router’s manual to know how long you need to press the

button).

4. On the repeater, press and hold the WPS button for 7 to 10

seconds.

The router and the repeater will connect automatically. You can

now connect your computer to the repeater: see section 8

above.

10. Set up the device as a wireless access point
To set up the device as a wireless access point, you need to perform

the following steps:
10.1 Configure network settings

Configure the network settings on your computer as described in

section 7.2.
