BASIC INSTALLATION
1. Select a working mode from the switch on the bottom of the
device. Detailed instructions for each working mode appear later
in this guide.
•
AP: The UBH1706 will act as a wireless access point (AP).
Connect it to a broadband router
and provide wireless service to
wireless-enabled clients such as
smartphones, game consoles or
smart TVs.
•
RP (Repeater): When connected to
a wireless router or gateway, the
UBH1706 will act as a wireless
repeate r, ex t e n d i n g w i re l e s s
coverage.
•
CL (Client): When set in Client
mode, the UBH1706 can enable
wireless capability for a networking device. It essentially acts
as a wireless network card when connected to a DVD player,
Internet TV, or game console via an Ethernet cable.
2. Plug the UBH1706 into a power outlet in an appropriate location
(such as half way between the wireless router and the wireless
clients when using in Repeater mode).
3. Check the LEDs on the front panel of the device. The power LED
should be solidly lit. If the Power LED is off, ensure that the
device is plugged in firmly and that the power outlet you are
using is working properly. If the Power Led is still not lit, the
device may be defective. Contact your dealer of purchase for
assistance.
4.
To connect with wireless APs and/or clients, use either the
Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) mode or log into the device’s
graphical user interface (GUI). Instructions are included later.

REPEATER (RP) MODE SETUP
When connected to a wireless router or gateway, the UBH1706 will
act as a wireless repeater. It will boost wireless signals and extend
wireless coverage, helping to eliminate WiFi weak spots and dead
zones in the home network.

UBH1706-AA00 Quick Installation Guide
For initial setup, the UBH1706 should be installed in close proximity
(in the same room) to the access point (wireless router or gateway).
After installation the device can be moved to achieve maximum
signal strength.
To establish a wireless connection with the wireless access point, use
either of the following methods:
•
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
•
Web User Interface (UI)
Extend Wireless
Coverage
Wireless
Repeater Mode

If your access point (wireless router or gateway) also supports
WPS, this method is recommended as it is a fast and secure means
of connection. If the access point does not have WPS, use the
UBH1706 web user interface to establish the wireless connection.
Instructions for both methods follow.

UBH1706-AA00 Quick Installation Guide
When both devices are WPS capable, you can join a secure WiFi
network without entering the network name and password.
1.
Switch the UBH1706 to Repeater (RP)
mode.
2.
Plug the UBH1706 into a power outlet.
Within a few minutes, you should see
the Power LED light up. If the power
LED does not light up, check that the
power outlet is working properly.
3.
Press the WPS button on the UBH1706
and hold for 2 seconds. The WPS LED
will start flashing.
4.
Within 2 minutes of pressing the
UBH1706 WPS button, press the WPS
button on the access point with which
you are connecting.

5.
If the WPS connection is successfully established, the UBH1706
will reboot. Upon completion of the reboot process, the
connection settings will be in effect.
•
When successfully connected to the access point, the 5G or
2.4G Signal LED will turn on.
•
If the UBH1706 WPS LED flashes , an error has occurred.
Wait for the WPS LED to turn off (about 2 minutes), and
repeat from step 3.
6.
After successfully connecting, you may move the UBH1706 to
the desired location. Check the Signal LED(s) for signal
strength, and choose a location with excellent reception.

UBH1706-AA00 Quick Installation Guide
Below is the procedure for establishing a wireless connection
by using the web user interface. Please ensure that your
computer is in DHCP client mode, obtaining its IP address
automatically from a DHCP server.
1. Switch the UBH1706 to Repeater (RP)
mode.
2. Plug the UBH1706 into a power outlet.
Within a few minutes, you should see
the power LED light up. If the power LED does not light up,
check that the power outlet is working properly.
3. There are 2 ways to access the UBH1706 web user interface
login screen (steps a or b below). The UBH1706 is named
‘repeaterxxxx,’ where xxxx is the last 4 digits of the device
MAC address. The MAC address can be found on the device
label. For this example, we use
‘repeater0003.’
a. Use your computer’s wireless
configuration utility to search
for t he ne t wor k named
‘repeater0003’ and join the
network. A login box will appear prompting you to enter
a username and password.
b. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your
computer’s Ethernet port and the other end to the
Ethernet port on the UBH1706. Open a web browser and
enter http://repeater0003 in the address bar. A login
box will appear
prompting you to
enter a username
and password.
Using the Web User Interface (UI)
4.
In the login box, enter the username and password. The default
values are:
Username: admin
