2.2 How the Extender Works The Extender works like a bridge between a wireless router and a computer or wireless device outside the wireless router’s range. To do this, the Extender has two main jobs: 1. The Extender connects to a wireless network that is up and running. When the Extender connects wirelessly to a network, it acts as a network client. This is similar to how a computer connects to a network. 2. The Extender acts as an access point for computers.
When to Use Your Extender? KASDA recommends that you connect to the Extender only when your home network connection is poor. Because data traffic routed through the Extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network, the computer should stay on the network if the connection is good enough. KASDA recommends that you connect through the Extender network only when the computer is in a “dead zone” where connection from the network is very poor or non-existent.
1. Connect your computer to the Extender with an Ethernet cable. 2. Plug the Extender into an electrical outlet. 3. Log in as described in the following section. CAUTION: Do not use Ethernet cable to connect the Extender to a router. If you do so, the Extender does not work because it is designed to use only a wireless connection to the router. If you have trouble connecting Make sure you use a computer that occupies the same subnet with the Extender.
3. Web-based Settings Guide To change settings, connect the Extender to your computer and use your Internet browser to go to http://192.168.0.1 described in Connect a PC to the Extender with an Ethernet Cable. 3.1 Extender main page configuration When using http://192.168.0.1 to log on to the setting pages. Enter username “admin” and password “admin”, then click “OK”. Enter username ‘admin’ and password ‘admin’ Click OK You will see the following page.
These are the current settings or information for Wireless. You can configure them in the Wireless -> Basic Settings page. 3.1.1 LAN configuration You can configure the IP parameters of LAN on this page.
Router IP Local IP Address / Subnet Mask: This is the router IP Address and Subnet Mask as seen on the internal LAN. The default value is 192.168.0.1 for IP Address and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask. Network Address Server setting(DHCP) DHCP Server – Keep the default, Enable, to enable the router's DHCP server option. If you already have a DHCP server on your network or you do not want a DHCP server, then select Disable.
Note: 1) If you change the IP Address of LAN, you must use the new IP Address to log in the extender. 2) If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP Address pool of the DHCP server will change accordingly at the same time. 3.1.2 WAN configuration The router supports several connection types to WAN (wide area network).These types are selected from the dropdown menu beside WAN Connection Type. The setting fields differ depending on the connection type you selected.
Host Name (Optional) – Enter a host name for the extender, if required by your ISP. Domain Name (Optional) – Enter a domain name for the extender, if required by your ISP. MTU – MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission. Keep the default setting, Auto, to have the router select the best MTU for your Internet connection. To specify a MTU size, select Manual, and enter the value desired (default is 1400).
Default Gateway – Enter the gateway IP address provided by your ISP. DNS 1-3 – Enter the DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address(es) provided by your ISP. 3.1.3 Wireless configuration Wireless basic settings Use the Guest Access feature to provide guests visiting your home with Internet access only. The guest network is a wireless network separate from your local network. • Allow Guest Access – To allow Internet access through a guest network, select yes.
wireless stations will be able to connect the Router without encryption. It is recommended strongly that you choose one of following options to enable security. • WEP – Select 802.11 WEP security. • WPA/WPA2 - Personal – Select WPA based on pre-shared passphrase. • WPA/WPA2 - Enterprise – Select WPA based on Radius Server. Each security option has its own settings as described follows. WEP Select a level of WEP encryption. • Passphrase – Enter a passphrase to automatically generate WEP keys.
PSK Password –You can enter ASCII or Hexadecimal characters. For Hexadecimal, the length should be between 8 and 64 characters; for ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 characters. Wireless settings • Channel – This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. If you select auto, then AP will choose the best channel automatically.
WPS function will help you add a new device to the network quickly. If the new device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and is equipped with a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then press the button on the Router within two minutes.
