Ten artykuł odnosi się do:

Method 1: Via a Web Browser

1.       Connect your computer or smartphone to the extender’s network MERCUSYS_RE_XXXX.

If you are using a computer, unplug the Ethernet cable if any.

Note: The default SSID (network name) is printed on the product label at the back of the extender.

2.       Follow the instructions of the Quick Setup Wizard to connect the extender to your host router.

1)      Launch a web browser, and enter http://mwlogin.net in the address bar. Create a password to log in.

2)      Select your host router’s 2.4GHz SSID (network name) from the list.

Note: If the network you want to join is not in the list, please move the extender closer to your router, and click Rescan at the end of the list.

3)      Enter the password of your host router. Either keep the default SSID (host router’s SSID) or customize it for the extended network and then click Next.

Note: Your extender network uses the same password as your host network.

3.       Check the Signal LED on your extender. Solid Green or orange indicates a successful connection.

4.       Relocate your extender for optimal Wi-Fi coverage and performance. The graph below shows the relation between the status of LED and network performance.

 

Method 2: Via WPS

1.       Plug the extender into a power outlet near your router, and wait until the Signal LED is lit and solid red.

2.       Press the WPS button on your router.

3.       Within 2 minutes, press the WPS or RESET/WPS button on the extender. The LED should change from blinking to a solid state, indicating a successful WPS connection.

Note: The extender shares the same SSID and password as your host router. If you want to customize wireless settings of the extended network, please enter http://mwlogin.net.
