Connection and Start-Up
You always have to first configure the device as Mesh-Router, regardless of whether you have
purchased the 2-pack set or the single device. However, if you purchased a 2-pack set or single
device as extenders, you can skip the Mesh-Router setup step.
If you configure a 2-pack for the first time, you need to configure one of the two devices as
the primary router. It doesn't matter which one. Once the router is configured, continue with
the repeater.
Basic installation of the devices
• Plug the power adapter output into the "DC IN" socket (2) on the respective product.
• Plug the power adapter into a mains socket.
Connecting the Mesh-Router
• If you intend setting up the product as a Mesh-Router, connect port "Internet LAN/Back-
haul" (8) to the appropriate port on your modem, router, etc. with a network patch cord. If
necessary, turn your modem on.
Switching on
• Use the slide switch (3) to turn the product on and wait until the boot process has finished.
This will take approx. 2 minutes.
Mesh-Router first time setup
• Connect a computer, Mac or mobile device to WLAN or to one of the two LAN ports of the
Mesh-Router described above.
The default WLAN-SSID is printed on the label at the bottom of the device; it is
predefined and unique for each device. By default, the WLAN is not encrypted.
• Open the router's configuration page. To do this, enter either the website URL http://
ap.setup or the default IP address 192.168.10.1.
Check that you are connected to the correct WLAN network, if the page is not prop-
erly displayed or does not load at all. If necessary, restart your device or alterna-
tively, try a different browser.
• As soon as the login page appears, select your language and wait for the page to reload.
• Then enter your password "admin" (without the quotation marks) to log in.
• The setup wizard will start automatically, if you are configuring theMesh-Router for the first
time.
Select your country in the In the top field. If it is not listed, select "GLOBAL".
Then, in the second field, set the appropriate time zone location for the Mesh-Router.
In the menu below, you can choose whether the Mesh-Router should restart regularly on a
given day/time or on a day/time that you have defined. Select the last item in the list, if you
don't need this option.
Finally, enter a new login password for the web interface.
Click the blue button below to save.
• On the next page, you need to configure Internet access and the WLAN network of the
Mesh-Router.
Under the first item, select the connection type. If the router works behind a modem that
requires dial-in, select "PPPoE". If you intend to use the router behind a device that does not
requires dial-in, (for example, another router, cable modem, etc.) select "DHCP".
For "PPPoE" enter in the appropriate fields your full user name and the password of your
DSL connection.
Under the next item you have the option to change the name of the WLAN network.
Finally select an encryption option for WLAN. We recommend selecting the "WPA2-PSK"
protocol, which offers the highest security standard. If you have devices that only support
"WPA", select both protocols.
Enter a WLAN password. It should consist of 8 characters and should include numbers as
well as upper and lower case letters.
Finally click on the blue button below to save your selection. Once the changes have been
applied, the setup is complete.
If the save button is greyed-out and you cannot click it, check the network cable
between the "Internet LAN/Backhaul" port (8) and your modem. Refresh the con-
figuration page and try again. Remember that the login password has already been
saved.
If you have made the configuration via WLAN, you will now need to connect your
device to the new WLAN network.
