Troubleshooting Tips

I entered setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the web menu.

a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Pro Range Extender using the included Ethernet cable.

Do not try to connect with a wireless connection. Ensure that the power on the Pro Range Extender is on.

b. Check that your computer IS NOT connected to any wireless networks. If it is, disable your Wi-Fi connection

disconnect from all wireless networks, power the Pro Range Extender on and off, and try again.

c. Close your current web browser and reopen it. Try the web address again.

d. Try to use a different web browser. We recommend the Google Chrome web browser.

e. Try to open your web browser to the default IP address by putting this number into your web browser

instead: 192.168.1.240

f. Power off (unplug the power adapter) the Pro Range Extender and power it back on. Try again.

g. Reset your Pro Range Extender to default settings by holding the Reset Button (located on the back

panel of the PoE Adapter) for ten (10) seconds and try again.

I cannot connect to my Home Network. I received an error when running the Smart Setup Wizard.

a. Your Home Network may be secured. Double check that you have the correct security key to connect to

the Home Network.

b. Try adjusting the channel number of your Home Network’s router to channel 5 thru 11. Then attempt the

Smart Setup Wizard again.

c. Reboot your Home Network router and try to connect again using the Smart Setup Wizard.

d. Check to see that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled. The Pro Range Extender needs to

obtain an IP from your Home Network router.

My Pro Range Extender was working fine previously but now I can no longer access the Internet

through the Pro Range Extender. My Internet connection is intermittent and unstable.

a. The connection to your Home Network has been dropped or the settings to your router have changed.

This can be caused by several events to your home wireless connection, such as a power outage to your router.

When this occurs, connect to the Pro Range Extender and access the setup menu using the

web address: setup.ampedwireless.com

Run through the Smart Setup Wizard to reconnect the Pro Range Extender to your network.

b. If you cannot access the setup menu, check to see that your Pro Range Extender is still on. Reboot

the Pro Range Extender by unplugging the power adapter and plugging it back in. Check to see if

your connection has been reestablished by viewing a website. If you do not have a connection, logon to

http://setup.ampedwireless.com and configure a new Home Network connection.

c. Using the setup menu (setup.ampedwireless.com) check to see that the signal strength between the Pro Range

Extender and your home network is above 75%. The Pro Range Extender may be too far from your home router.

To find the signal strength between the router and the Pro Range Extender you may check the Management >

Repeater Status page on the web menu. On the bottom of the Home Wireless Network Settings section there will

be a Signal Strength readout. This Signal Strength must be above 75%. If it is below, move the Pro Range Extender

closer to your router, or reposition the Pro Range Extender.

Using an External Antenna

For additional range and coverage, the SR600EX comes with the option of using external

antennas instead of the high power internal antenna. To use the external antenna, attach

the antenna and log on to the web menu to activate the external antenna port:

Mounting Instructions

Place the SR600EX against the pole.

Use the included hose clamp or plastic tie and secure

the SR600EX to the pole by inserting one side of the

of the mounting bracket. If using the metal hose clamp,

use a screw driver to fasten the clamp until the
