1. Introduction
ERB9250 is a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n 300Mbps Repeater & Client Bridge (Range
Booster / Extender). Range Extender solves the signal attenuation (limited coverage)
problem by literally repeating / extending AP radio signal to dead-spots. While
repeater clones AP and serves as a subsidiary entity to its clients, client bride offers
an extension of wired network to the AP.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, Access Point built into the Router uses
advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple steams of
data in a single wireless channel giving you seamless access to multimedia content.
Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and extends network range.
For data protection and privacy, ERB9250 encodes all wireless transmissions with
WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.
1.1. Package Contents

7
2. Installation
Please configure your PC / Notebook Ethernet card IP address before device
configuration.
2.1. PC Network Adapter setup (Windows XP)
• Enter [Start Menu] select [Control panel] select [Network].
• Select [Local Area Connection]) icon=>select [properties]
8
• Select [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)] =>Click [Properties].
• Select the [General] tab.
• ERB9250 supports [DHCP] function, please select both [Obtain an IP
address automatically] and [Obtain DNS server address automatically].
9
2.2. Bring up ERB9250
Connect the supplied power-adapter to the power inlet port and connect it to a
wall outlet. Then, ERB9250 automatically enters the self-test phase. Once WLAN
LED is on and blinking randomly to indicate that it is in normal operation.

3. Quick Setup Range Extender
Prerequisite:
Before we start, please make sure the extender is within the coverage of your
existing AP. We suggest you place your extender right next to your AP for the initial
setup. We can move the extender to further location after configuration is completed.
ERB9250 default IP address is 192.168.1.2, please ensure it is not occupied by
any other devices.
Power On:
Connect the supplied power-adapter to the power inlet port and connect it to a wall
outlet. Then, ERB9250 automatically enters the self-test phase. Once WLAN LED is
on and blinking randomly to indicate that it is in normal operation.
3.1. One-Touch Setup Extender
1. Make sure your AP/Router WPS function is enabled (some router may require
you to press WPS button and hold for a few second to enable WPS).
2. Press the button on ERB9250 once. You will see Orange WLAN LED blinking.
3. Wait for a few seconds.
11
4. Once the orange WLAN LED stop blinking and staying on, the setup is then
completed.
If the LED does not stay on, this means the configuration is not successful.
In case you do not have the extender right next to your AP, please move your
extender closer and make sure the antennas are properly screwed firmly on the
devices. Repeat steps 1~4 again.
If the configuration fails again, this probably means your AP does not support
one-touch setup function. Please configure your extender manually.
3.2. Manual Configuration
1. It is advised to configure your extender through Ethernet cable. You may need to
disconnect other network connections to avoid confusion.
2. Connect your Ethernet port to the extender RJ45/Ethernet port with the cable
included in the package.
3. Configure your computer network interface to IP address 192.168.1.10.
4. Open your Web Browser and type in 192.168.1.2 (the device default IP address).
5. Type in admin for both user name and password.
6. Once get accessed, you will see the administration page
7. Click [Basic] under section Wireless.
12
8. Click on [Site Survey] to search the existing AP.
9. Few seconds later, a window will pop up a list of available APs.
10. Select your target AP and click on [Connect].
11. Enter the access key for the target AP and click on [Save].
12. Pop-up box showing the connection established between AP and the extender.
13. On the extender status page, you should see AP security information being
cloned here.

4. ERB9250 Placement
4.1. Placement
Please note that there may be various interferences and obstacles in the
environment that can impact wireless network performance. Most of the wireless
driver utility provides signal strength visualization. You can make use of it to measure
the signal strength of your AP.
You may need to experiment a few times to find out the best location for the
range extender. Generally, placing extender at where the AP signal strength greater
than 30% considered suitable.
You can place ERB9250 on a desk or other flat surface, or you can mount it on
a wall. For optimal performance, place your extender within the coverage of your
existing AP from which the signal you would like to extend. Like any other wireless
device, it must be away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal
wall or microwave oven. This location must be close to a power connection. If the
antennas are not screwed properly, performance loss can occur.
4.2. Wall Mounting
You can mount the device on the wall. There are two mounting points on the bottom
of the device. Please find a proper spot where two nails can be applied. The distance
15
between the two nails is 89mm. Finally, carefully mount the device onto the wall and
make sure the nails are firmly locked on the mount points.
Recommended Screw Dimension: 18mm x 5mm

5. Smart Wizard
Please insert the Wizard CD into your CD-ROM driver.
If you are using MacOS or other operation system, please browse your CD and
click on index.html to start Smart Wizard.
17
Click on [Quick Setup] if you would like go for Quick Setup.
Click on [Manual Setup] if your AP does not support WPS button or Quick Setup
does not work on your AP.
Click [User Manual] to view user manual
Click on [Adobe Reader] to install PDF reader
Please follow the instructions given on the screen to proceed.

6. Initial Setup ERB9250
ERB9250 uses web-interface for configuration to be accessed through your web
browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
1. OPEN your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer).
Type http://192.168.1.2 in address bar and hit [Enter] button on your keyboard.
Click <OK> to navigate into ERB9250 configuration home page.
You will see the home page of ERB9250 as follows.

7. System
7.1. Operation Mode
This page allows you to change device operation mode. ERB9250 supports
Universal Repeater (Range Extender) and Client Bridge mode. By default it is
configured as an Universal Repeater (also known as Extender).
If you are not sure what Client Bridge is, please do not use this mode. Client
Bridge is not an AP extender but an “Ethernet Wireless Extender”. CB serves
as a bridge between wired network and wireless network. Once enabled, you
can only access the device through Ethernet cable.
For Client Bridge mode, you can choose whether to enable router mode.
Router mode will enable NAT and DHCP server. Please disable router mode if
you are not familiar with these terms.
7.2. Status
This page allows you to monitor the current status of your router.
