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
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.
IV-3. Glossary
Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non-access point IP device needs to
configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP
packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send
the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the
destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives
every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess
