Step 11: The connection of the WR2100 Wireless Repeater and
Wireless Access Point is successfully established after the
LED
remains on.
Next go to “Setting Up Your Client Devices”.
Locate the WR2100 Wireless Repeater in another
place for better wireless reception and performance
if the signal strength is weak (the
LED is red).
Setting Up your Client Devices
You must next configure your client devices to access the repeater.
Configuring Client Devices without WPS
PCs and laptops typically do not have a WPS function. However, if
previously configured to your wireless router/access point, they should
automatically access the network through the WR2100 Wireless
Repeater without any additional configuration.
If your client was NOT previously configured for your router/access
point, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Configure the client device (e.g. PC or laptop) with the same
SSID and encryption keys using your operating system’s network utility.
Step 2: The connection is successfully established after the
LED
remains on.
Step 3: The client device can then access the wireless network.
Configuring WPS Enabled Client Devices
Step 1: Power on the WPS enabled client device (e.g. IP Camera) and
make sure it is in wireless mode
Step 2: Press the WPS button on the WR2100 Wireless Repeater for
LESS than 3 seconds. The WPS LED will blink for 2 minutes. Then
press the WPS button on the client device. Make sure to press the
button within 120 seconds (2 minutes) after pressing the WR2100
Wireless Repeater WPS button.
Step 3: Wait for the WPS LEDs to be solid on both WR2100 Wireless
Repeater and the client device. Then check the
LED again.
Step 4: If the
LED remains on the client device can now access
the wireless network.
