All you need is to access 192.168.10.1 WiFi repeater setup page on a web browser and get the setup done in an easy manner. Walking through the information provided here will assist you.
Wireless N Repeater Setup Instructions
Using Web Interface
Step 1:Unbox the Repeater
We assume it is a brand new repeater. So we begin by unboxing the package. Unwrap the package and verify that you have received all the parts in proper condition. You may need any user manual that came along in the package. Keep it handy.
Step 2: Place the Devices
Now, assemble any external antennas that you got along and place it near the host router. During the setup process, placing the devices closer to each other is important. Once the setup is completed, you can shift the repeater. For now, keeping them closer is suggested.
Step 3: Connect Repeater to Router
Grab an Ethernet cable and use it to join the repeater to the router. Use the Internet port of the repeater. The LAN port on the router is to be used. Be very certain that the connection is not at all loose.
You can choose to connect these two devices wirelessly also.
Step 4: Power Up Router & Repeater
Now, switching on the host router and the repeater is required. You must make sure that the devices are connected to well-working power sockets and are receiving optimum power supply.
Step 5: Log In to Repeater Admin Dashboard
Use your computer and launch an internet browser on it. The internet browser should be free from cache and cookies and should be updated to the latest version. Hover over to the URL bar and type the default IP address here carefully. Make zero typing mistakes.
Step 6: Follow the Setup Instructions
Right after inserting the IP address, press Enter and you will be navigated to the setup page of your Wireless N WiFi repeater login page. Keep executing the instructions that you see on the screen further to accomplish the setup of your repeater.
Using WPS Button
There is one more way that you can put to use to get through the setup process of your repeater. This is known to be the easiest and simplest way for setting up the device. Here you need not have the admin credentials handy. This requires no password to get the devices connected. Hence the name WPS, Wireless Protected Setup. Following are the instructions to set up your repeater via WPS button:
1. Place the repeater closer to the router.
2. Power up the router and the repeater.
3. Find a button named WPS on the router. Push it gently.
4. Similarly, press the WPS button on your repeater also, within 2 minutes of pressing the button on the router.
5. Let the devices establish a connection. It might take a while.
6. Soon your repeater will be configured.
You can now move your repeater to a new location in the home where you want to extend the existing network. While relocating the extender, you must keep a few things into consideration that we have highlighted ahead:
1. Keep the extender or repeater closer to the host router so that the devices can have smooth signal transmission.
2. The repeater must be placed in an open and airy space in the home such that the connecting devices can have proper signal access.
3. The device must be placed away from other networking devices or other signal interference causing or signal blocking agents.
