•If you will not be using the product for aprolonged

period, disconnect it from mains power.

6.1 Operating modes

The repeater essentially supports two different operating

modes:

A) Repeater mode:

The repeater amplies your existing wireless LAN by

connecting it via WLAN to the existing router /access

point. Your existing network's SSID and passwordare

copied for this.

B) Access point mode:

The repeater is connected with cables to your existing

network and, once successfully congured, sets up its

own independent wireless LAN.

6.2 Repeater mode

6.2.1 Getting started via WPS (WiFi protected setup)

Requirements:

To be able to use WPS, your existing WLAN router must

support conguration via WPS. Your WLAN router must

also use the WLAN encryption standardWPA or WPA2,

and the SSID (WLAN network name) of the WLAN router

must be set to visible.

Note

Please be awarethat some manufacturers use different

terms instead of WPS. Forfurther information, read

your WLAN router's operating instructions to determine

whether and how you can activate pairing via the

hardwarebutton (WPS) on your WLAN router.

To set up the Hama repeater via WPS, proceed

as follows:

•Connect the device to aproperly installed socket.

•Plug the Hama repeater close (we recommend using the

same room as the one that your WLAN router is already

in for initial setup) to the WLAN router and wait until its

status LED (4) lights up.

•Press and hold the WPS button (3) for around 2seconds.

The status LED (4) starts to ash quickly.

•Press the WPS or QSS button on your WLAN router within

2minutes, in accordance with the instructions in your

WLAN router's operating manual. (Please see your WLAN

router's operating manual to determine how long you

need to keep the button pressed for).

•Wait for around 3minutes until the connection between

the WLAN router and the repeater has been set up.

•The connection has been successfully established once

the status LED (4) lights up permanently.

•Now position the Hama repeater in your desired location.

This completes the connection via WPS process and a

secureconnection has been set up between the repeater

and the WLAN router.

6.2.2 Getting started via WLAN connection with

the PC

•Connect the device to aproperly installed socket.

•Plug the Hama repeater close (we recommend using the

same room as the one that your WLAN router is already

in for initial setup) to the WLAN router and wait until its

status LED (4) lights up.

•Connect your computer to the "Wireless-N" network. You

do not need to enter apassword.

•Then call up the address http://ap.setup in your web

browser.(Alternatively you can also call up the repeater's

IP address 192.168.10.1).

•Select alanguage and enter the password. Then click

"Login" to start the conguration process. The default

passwordisadmin.

•Select "Wizard".

•Then select "Repeater".

•The repeater lists all available networks. Select the

desired network and enter the passwordfor your

network. Then click Connect. Youcan change the router's

SSID if you wish. We recommend using the same SSID

that your WLAN network uses, however.

•After clicking "Connect", the repeater restarts. Younow

need to connect your computer to the new network.

•Alternatively,you can also congurethe repeater using

anetwork cable. To do this, connect your computer and

the repeater by means of anetwork cable. Youcan then

continue with the conguration process described above

from "Then call up the address http://ap.setup....".

6.2.3 Troubleshooting

If the status LED (4) on the repeater does not light up

as described, the connection could not be established.

Please check the following instructions for how to resolve

the problem:

•Check the location at which you have set up the

repeater.Werecommend plugging in the repeater

in the immediate vicinity of your WLAN router for the

conguration process.

•Check whether the WPS function is activated in your

WLAN router's rmwareorifyour WLAN router even

supports this mechanism.

•Check whether the WLAN network you areusing uses

ahidden SSID. We recommend not hiding the SSID for

the initial setup process.

•Check whether your WLAN networkuses the 2.4 GHz band.

The Hama repeateronly supports the2.4 GHz band.

6.3 Access point mode

•Plug the Hama repeater close (we recommend using the

same room as the one that your WLAN router is already

in for initial setup) to the WLAN router and wait until its

status LED (4) lights up.

•Now connect the network port (2)onthe Hama repeater

using anetworkcableto your existing network(e.g.router

or network socket).

•Connect your computer to the "Wireless-N" network.

Youdonot need to enter apassword.

•Then call up the address http://ap.setup in your web

browser.(Alternatively you can also call up the repeater's

IP address 192.168.10.1).

•Select alanguage and enter the password. Then click

"Login" to start the conguration process. The default

passwordis"admin".

•Select "Wizard".

•Then select "AP".

•Assign aname to the network (SSID) that the repeater

is to set up.

•Select the encryption method and enter apasswordfor

the network. Then click "Accept".

•The settings will be transferred. The repeater then creates

anetwork with the settings you have just dened.

•Youcan now connect your WLAN devices to the new

network.

7. Web interface

Once you have called up the address http://ap.setup or

alternatively the IP address of the repeater in your web

browser,you willbetaken to the repeater's web interface

after selecting the language and entering the password.

7.1 Status

The web interface always begins with the "Status"

summary page.

Hereyou willsee asummary of the repeater's conguration

and the connected or linked devices. If you nd yourself

on another page during the conguration process, you can

return to this summary at any time by clicking "Status".

described in Section 6-asarepeater or as an accesspoint.

7.3 Wi-Fi

Under the WLAN Settings option you will nd the settings

for the integrated WLAN module. Hereyou can assign the

repeater adifferent SSID or make changes to the WLAN

module's power output.

Note -WLAN settings

•Please be awarethat advanced WLAN /network skills

areneeded hereinorder to be able to assess the

changes resulting from these.

•If you areunsure, seek help from aprofessional before

making any changes.

In the "Wi-Fi" menu item, you have the option of modifying

the repeater's WLAN settings such as the network name

(SSID), encryption, signal strength or channel used.

This window shows you the SSID currently being used by

your router and the repeater.Toensurethat aWLAN device

logs in only once per repeater on your WLAN network, you

can change the repeater's SSID and then select the same

SSID on your WLAN device.

Note –SSID

•All WLAN devices that stillhave the old SSID saved

willattempt to connect directly to your router instead

of the repeater,since its SSID still matches the old

one. Youmust thereforefamiliarise all devices that

want to use the WLAN with the new SSID.

•Also be awarethat some older WLAN devices may

not correctly understand SSIDs with diacritical marks

or special characters. Youshould thereforeavoid such

characters.

The remaining settings aredesigned only for expert users.

We recommend retaining the default settings since these

have already been designed to ensurethe fastest data

transfer rate and maximum compatibility directly from the

factory.These settings should thereforeonly be changed

for very special cases.
