Note
Please observe the detailed operating instructions
available at www.hama.com. They offer detailed,
useful information on additional options for starting
up and configuring your product.
6.2.1 Start-Up using WPS (WiFi protected setup)
Requirements:
In order for you to use WPS, your existing WLAN router
must support configuration using WPS. In addition, your
WLAN router must be currently using the WPA or WPA2
WLAN encryption standard, and the SSID (WLAN network
name) of the WLAN router must be set to visible.

Note
Note that some manufacturers use designations
other than WPS. Please read the instructions for your
WLAN router to determine whether and how you can
activate linking via a hardware button (WPS) on your
WLAN router.
To set up the Hama repeater using WPS, proceed as
follows:
• Plug in the Hama repeater in the immediate vicinity
of your WLAN router (we recommend starting up the
device in the same room in which your WLAN router is
located) and wait until its status LED (4) lights up.
• Press and hold the WPS button (3) for approximately 2
seconds. The status LED (4) begins to flash quickly.
• Press the WPS or QSS button on your WLAN router
within the next 2 minutes and according to the
instructions in your WLAN router manual. (Consult the
instructions for your WLAN router to determine how
long to hold the button.)
• Wait for approx. 3 minutes until the connection
between the WLAN router and the repeater is
established.
• The connection has been successfully set up when the
status LED (4) is constantly lit.
• Place the Hama repeater in the location you have
selected.
The WPS connection procedure is thus completed, and
a secure connection has been established between the
repeater and the WLAN router.
6.2.2 Startup using a WLAN connection with
the PC
• Plug in the Hama repeater in the immediate vicinity
of your WLAN router (we recommend starting up the
device in the same room in which your WLAN router is
located) and wait until its status LED (4) lights up.
• Connect your computer to the network 'Wireless-N'.
The entry of a password is not required.
