Frequently Asked Questions - P40 Luxul

How do I set up the P40 in Repeater Mode?

Slide the bottom switch to Repeater. Connect to the wireless network 'repeater.setup' (no password) or use an Ethernet cable. Open a browser, log in with username/password admin, and follow the setup wizard to select your network and enter its password.

How do I set up the P40 in Client Mode?

Slide the bottom switch to Client (resets to factory defaults). Connect to 'repeater.setup' or use an Ethernet cable. Log in with admin/admin, click Continue, select your wireless network, and enter the password. The P40 will not broadcast an SSID; use the Ethernet port to connect a device.

What is the default IP address and login?

The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The default username and password are both admin.

How do I reset the P40 to factory defaults?

Press and hold the LEDs/Reset button on the front panel for about 5 seconds. The Power LED will blink, then release. You can also switch to Client Mode to reset.

Can I turn off the LEDs?

Yes. Press and release the LEDs/Reset button once to toggle the LEDs on or off. When off, all LEDs including Power will be off.

What do the LED indicators mean?

5G (amber) and 2.4G (green) show signal strength: steady = good, slow blinking = normal, fast blinking = poor. LAN (green) indicates connection. Client or Repeater (green) shows mode. PWR (green) indicates power.

Can I use the same SSID as my existing network?

Yes. During setup in Repeater Mode, you can choose to use the same wireless name (SSID) or customize it. This does not affect how the P40 connects to your main network.

Where should I place the P40 for best performance?

Place the P40 in a central location, away from obstructions and electronic interference. Avoid placing it in kitchens, bathrooms, or near heat sources. Refer to Luxul's AP placement guide for details.

How do I change the admin password?

During setup, you will be prompted to change the password. After login, you can also change it from the main menu under settings. The default is admin.

What is the difference between Client and Repeater Mode?

In Client Mode, the P40 connects wirelessly to your network and provides internet via the Ethernet port (no SSID broadcast). In Repeater Mode, it rebroadcasts the wireless signal, extending coverage for wireless devices.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

1 Introduction and Safety Information

The compact design, allows you to install the P40 everywhere and still provide excellent network performance to extend the Wi-Fi signal and wireless coverage. This P40 is designed for indoor use only. DO NOT expose this device to direct sunlight, rain, or snow.

Caution: DO NOT put the P40 in or near hot or humid places, like the kitchen or bathroom. Also, do not leave the P40 in the car during the summer.

The P40 will become hot when being used for a long time (this is normal and is not a malfunction). DO NOT put the P40 on paper, cloth, or other fl ammable objects.

Difference between client/repeater mode:

In Client Mode, your P40 will act as a client, connecting wirelessly to your existing wireless network. You can then connect physically through the Ethernet port on the bottom of the P40 to whatever device you want to provide internet connectivity to.

In Repeater Mode, your P40 will act as an access point, rebroadcasting your wireless signal from the next closest AP.

2 Access and Setup for Repeater Mode

The switch on the bottom of the P40 should be on “Repeater.”

The P40 setup can be initiated two ways; choose the one below that works best for you:

Option 1. Open an Internet Browser. Using your OS settings, connect to a wireless network called “repeater.setup” (no password required).

Option 2. Open an Internet Browser. Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to the Ethernet port on the P40.

After performing either Option 1 or 2, a login window will open in your Internet Browser to start the setup of the P40. The default username and password are both “admin.”

Default IP: 192.168.1.1

Username: admin

Password: admin

After logging in, click “Continue” to start the setup wizard or you can click “Skip Wizard” to see the main menu.

After clicking “Continue,” the P40 will scan for and display a list of the wireless networks (SSIDs) it can see. Select yours, then click “Continue.” If you don’t see your network, you can click “Refresh” to refresh the list.

You will be prompted to enter a password for that wireless network (SSID). Enter the exact same password you use for that existing wireless network (SSID). It is case sensitive. Click “Continue.”

When setting the P40 up in Repeater Mode, you will be asked if you would like to extend a second network on another frequency. This is so you can extend both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks for better coverage. This page will not show up if you are using the P40 as a bridge client. Select “Yes” or “No” and follow the steps past the password again.

You will be asked if you want to use the same wireless name (SSID) as the one you're extending or if you want to customize the wireless name (SSID) you want the P40 to broadcast. Make your selection and then click “Continue.”

Note: Changing the network name (SSID) does not affect how the P40 connects to your current wireless network, and you will not see this page when setting up the P40 in Client Mode.

You will be asked to change the admin password for accessing the user interface of the P40. Change that, and click “Continue.”

You will then be asked if you want the LEDs on or off. Make your choice, and click “Continue.”

After 60 seconds, you will lose access to that page, and your P40 should be ready. You can then move it to where you would like it to be.

Access and Setup for Client Mode

Flip the switch on the bottom of the P40 to “Client.”

Caution: Moving this switch will set the P40 back to factory default.

The P40 setup can be initiated two ways; choose the one below that works best for you:

Option 1. Open an Internet Browser. Using your OS settings, connect to a wireless network called “repeater.setup” (no password required).

Option 2. Open an Internet Browser. Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to the Ethernet port on the P40.

After performing either Option 1 or 2, a login window will open in your Internet Browser to start the setup of the P40. The default username and password are both “admin.”

Default IP: 192.168.1.1

Username: admin

Password: admin

After clicking “Continue,” the P40 will scan for and display a list of the wireless networks (SSIDs) it can see. Select yours, then click “Continue.” If you don’t see your network, you can click “Refresh” to refresh the list.

You will be prompted to enter a password for that wireless network (SSID). Enter the exact same password you use for that existing wireless network (SSID). It is case sensitive. Click “Continue.”

Next, you will be asked to change the admin password for accessing the P40 user interface. Change that, and click “Continue.”

You will then be asked if you want the LEDs on or off. Make your choice, and click “Continue.”

In Client Mode, the P40 will not broadcast any SSIDs; you will use the Ethernet port to connect a device.

Note: When done setting the P40 up in Client Mode, you should have internet access through the Ethernet port on the P40.
