To begin the setup process we have to first power on the extender. For this, take up the power adapter, attach it to the extender and plug it in. Switch on the button. Wait for a few seconds or a minute to let the extender boot up properly. If the LED light on the extender is solid and not flickering then it’s a clear sign to proceed further.
Point To Remember: Placement is very important for the extender to work perfectly. So you have to plug in the extender strategically. Ideally it should be near to the host router and the area where you face connectivity issues. Further, do not place the extender near thick walls or electronic and metal objects.
Secondly, just grab any device of your choice. Go to its wifi settings. Look for the network name that starts with “WL WN575A4.” As you find it Click on it to connect.
Once connected, open a web browser. In its address bar type default IP address. This address can be easily found in the user manual. Usually it is 192.168.10.1. As soon as you find an accurate IP address fill it up and press Enter. It will take you to the login page. On your screen you will see two columns. One will prompt you to enter a username and another password. Again, look for the details in the user manual. Finally, when you fill in the details you will successfully login into the extender’s setup page.
You can change different settings of the extender as per your network needs. Once done your screen will display a summary of your settings. Review this information carefully. Make sure everything is correct. If everything looks good then you have to click on “Finish” to complete the setup and to apply all the changes.
Now, the extender will reboot. Wait for a few minutes while it restarts. Once it powers back on the lights will indicate that it is ready to use.
