6.2.3 Troubleshooting

If the status LED (4) on the repeater does not light up
as described, the connection could not be established.
Please check the following instructions for how to resolve
the problem:
• Check the location at which you have set up the
repeater. We recommend plugging in the repeater
in the immediate vicinity of your WLAN router for the
configuration process.
• Check whether the WPS function is activated in your
WLAN router's firmware or if your WLAN router even
supports this mechanism.
• Check whether the WLAN network you are using uses
a hidden SSID. We recommend not hiding the SSID for
the initial setup process.
• Check whether your WLAN network uses the 2.4 GHz band.
The Hama repeater only supports the 2.4 GHz band.

6.3 Access point mode

• Plug the Hama repeater close (we recommend using the
same room as the one that your WLAN router is already
in for initial setup) to the WLAN router and wait until its
status LED (4) lights up.
• Now connect the network port (2) on the Hama repeater
using a network cable to your existing network (e.g. router
or network socket).
• Connect your computer to the "Wireless-N" network.
You do not need to enter a password.
• Then call up the address http://ap.setup in your web
browser. (Alternatively you can also call up the repeater's
IP address 192.168.10.1).
• Select a language and enter the password. Then click
"Login" to start the configuration process. The default
password is "admin".
• Select "Wizard".
• Then select "AP".
• Assign a name to the network (SSID) that the repeater
is to set up.
• Select the encryption method and enter a password for
the network. Then click "Accept".
• The settings will be transferred. The repeater then creates
a network with the settings you have just defined.
• You can now connect your WLAN devices to the new
network.

7. Web interface

Once you have called up the address http://ap.setup or
alternatively the IP address of the repeater in your web
browser, you will be taken to the repeater's web interface
after selecting the language and entering the password.

7.1 Status

The web interface always begins with the "Status"
summary page.
Here you will see a summary of the repeater's configuration
and the connected or linked devices. If you find yourself
on another page during the configuration process, you can
return to this summary at any time by clicking "Status".

7.2 Wizard

In the Wizard menu item, you can configure the repeater - as
described in Section 6 - as a repeater or as an access point.

7.3 Wi-Fi

Under the WLAN Settings option you will find the settings
for the integrated WLAN module. Here you can assign the
repeater a different SSID or make changes to the WLAN
module's power output.
Note - WLAN settings
• Please be aware that advanced WLAN / network skills
are needed here in order to be able to assess the
changes resulting from these.
• If you are unsure, seek help from a professional before
making any changes.
In the "Wi-Fi" menu item, you have the option of modifying
the repeater's WLAN settings such as the network name
(SSID), encryption, signal strength or channel used.
This window shows you the SSID currently being used by
your router and the repeater. To ensure that a WLAN device
logs in only once per repeater on your WLAN network, you
can change the repeater's SSID and then select the same
SSID on your WLAN device.
