Instrucțiuni de configurare

1. Initial Placement and Power On

2. Connecting to Your Router (WPS Method)

The easiest method to connect the repeater to your router is using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button.

  1. Activate the WPS function on your main WiFi router by pressing its WPS button. Refer to your router's user manual for the exact location and procedure.
  2. Within two minutes of activating WPS on your router, press the WPS button on the DEVOLO WiFi 6 Repeater 5400 for approximately one second. The WiFi LED, 2.4GHz LED, and 5GHz LED on the repeater will start blinking.
  3. Wait for these LEDs to turn solid blue. A solid blue light indicates a successful connection to your router. If only the 2.4GHz or 5GHz LED turns solid blue, check if your router has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands enabled. If both are enabled and only one LED is solid, try the WPS process again.

3. Relocating the Repeater

After successful setup, you can relocate the repeater to an optimal position to maximize WiFi coverage.

  1. Unplug the repeater from its current power outlet.
  2. Plug the repeater into a power outlet located approximately halfway between your router and the area where you need improved WiFi coverage (the "dead zone"). Ensure the chosen location is within the range of your router's WiFi signal.
  3. Wait for about two minutes until the WiFi LED turns solid blue. If the LED does not turn solid blue, relocate the extender closer to the router to achieve better signal quality.

4. Connecting Devices to the Extended Network

Once the repeater is set up, your devices can connect to the extended WiFi network. The network name will typically be your router's network name with "_EXT" appended to it (e.g., "MyHomeWiFi_EXT"). The password for this extended network is the same as your main router's WiFi password.

  • If using a manual setup method (e.g., via web browser or app), double-check the WiFi password and network name.

Poor Signal Quality / Slow Speeds

  • Relocate the repeater to a position that is roughly halfway between your router and the desired coverage area. The WiFi Signal LED should be solid blue for optimal performance.
  • Avoid placing the repeater near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
  • Asigurați-vă că firmware-ul routerului este actualizat.
  • Check for any physical obstructions or interference sources in the environment.
