In the "Repeater" mode, the WiFi Repeater copies and extends the data of your existing WiFi network or your existing WiFi access points. Network devices can be optionally connected using the WiFi or LAN interface of the WiFi Repeater.

In the "AP" mode, the WiFi Repeater acts as the access point through which several WiFi devices can connect to the device connected to the LAN/WAN interface (for example, router). Thus, routers without a WiFi function can be extended with this function. Please note! WiFi devices connected to the WiFi Repeater do not get an IP address from the WiFi Repeater, but from the device connected to the LAN interface.

5 Repeater mode setup via WPS (recommended)

Requirements:

The router or the access point of the WiFi network to be expanded should support WPS. WPS has to be enabled for this purpose.

The SSID (network name) should be set to visible. If a MAC address filtering is enabled, then it is absolutely necessary to enter the MAC address of the WiFi Repeater as an exception.

Note for WPS configuration: While configuring, it can happen that SSID and password are not transmitted properly. Then you have to repeat the process.

The configuration of the AP mode have to be done via the webinterface, to include the AP into the subnet of the homenetwork, to ensure a stable connection.

The WiFi signal is transmitted unsecured (Out of the box), and have to be set manually.

First, check if your wireless router supports the "WPS" function. If you are not sure, refer to the user manual of the device.

Proceed as follows to setup the repeater:

• Connect the device to a properly installed socket.
• Press the WPS button on the upper side of the Repeater for about 3-4 seconds. The WiFi/WPS LED flashes for about two minutes.
• You have to press the WPS button on your router for about 2-3 seconds within these two minutes. Please read the user manual of your router for additional details.

The WiFi Repeater automatically connects to your wireless router and copies the network key and the SSID from the settings. You can access the wireless repeater using the SSID and the network key of your wireless router.

5.1 Repeater mode setup (wireless)

• Connect the device to a properly installed socket.
• Click on the network icon ("or") in the lower right side of your desktop. You can see the signal of the WiFi Repeater there (CSL_5G or CSL_2.4G). Click on "Connect" and wait for a few seconds till you are connected.
• Open your Internet browser and type "http://192.168.10.2" or "http://csl.repeater" in the address line and confirm with "Enter".

Note: If you are unable to access the Web interface by entering these addresses, you should reset your WiFi Repeater once. To do this, press the "Reset button" for about 5 seconds. Then try it again.

- The Web interface is displayed once you login via the Web browser. You will find the default data on the nameplate of the repeater.

The Web interface of the Repeater is displayed once you login successfully.

A list of available wireless devices is then displayed. Press on "Site Survey". Select the desired network by clicking on the "Select" box. Then press "Next".

After selecting a WiFi network, you need to enter the security key of your network.

After entering it click on "Connect". Once the device is restarted, the WiFi Repeater can be accessed under the SSID and the security key of your router.

5.2 Connecting via LAN

To set up the WiFi Repeater via LAN, connect your computer using the LAN cable provided to the LAN interface of the WiFi Repeater.

5.3 Accessing the web page

After connecting to the WiFi Repeater, you can access the WiFi Repeater via an Internet browser in order to configure it.

Enter "http://csl.repeater" in the browser's address line and press enter. If this doesn't work, configure your computer as given in Chapter 5.4 and instead enter the IP address 192.168.10.2 in the browser as the default IP address of the WiFi Repeater.

You can then configure the WiFi Repeater appropriately. It may be necessary to restart after changing the settings.

5.4 IP address setting of the computer

The procedure is explained below using Windows 7 as the example. Configure
