The password for the WLAN is the same as the WLAN of your router .
• Additional devices can be connected to the LAN1 (2) and LAN2 (1) network connections.
If the router has already been congured, the password for the WLAN is the same
as that of your output router , otherwise WLAN is unencrypted.
d) Logging in to the device’ s web interface
Conguration address http//:ap.setup
IP address (default) 192.168.10.1
Login admin
Password admin
WLAN SSIDs WLAN SSID ‘renkforce-2.4G’, ‘renkforce-5G’
e) Accessing the web interface and basic conguration (all operating modes)
Connect your computer to the device. 2 options are available:
- With cable
- Wirelessly via WLAN
1. Connect a suitable network cable (not included) to an available network connection
(LAN1 (2) or LAN2 (1)) to connect the computer to the device’s network via cable. Y ou can
connect up to 2 devices.
• Connect your computer to the device’s network via WiFi. T o do this, activate the WLAN
connection on the device to be connected. Log in to the network with the SSID.
• Open the conguration address (http//:ap.setup) or use the internal/private network IP
address 192.168.10.1 in a web browser .
• Select the desired language from the drop-down menu.
• Log in to the web interface. The login and password are the same:
- Login admin

assign your own password.
Observe the general guidelines for creating a secure password (10 digits long).
• Conrm your settings with ‘Next’ and conrm the overall settings at the end of the process.
Use your new password when logging in again later .
Conguring operating modes
Y ou can now select the operating mode in which you wish to operate the device using the
conguration wizard.
a) ‘LAN bridge (AP mode)’
The device connects to an existing router with internet access via an Ethernet cable and provi-
des internet access to your network devices.
• Connect the device to a router with an internet connection using a network cable (CA T5).
T erminal devices connected to the device via WLAN can access the internet via this con-
nection.
b) ‘WiFi extender (repeater mode)’
In this operating mode, the device connects to an existing router and provides internet access
to your network devices. In this operating mode, the device connects to the output router via
WiFi and creates a connected network (different SSID).
• Select the WLAN to which you wish to connect the repeater or amplify from the list. Always
refresh the list of existing WLANs. After selection, the name of the WLAN is automatically
adopted by your router . In addition, a sufx is also added to the name. Y ou can change this
if you wish.
• Enter the password of the WLAN network that you previously selected. Conrm your chan -
ges. These are applied.
c) ‘Router ’
In this operating mode, the device connects to the your ISP’s internet access and provides
internet access to your network devices. Connect a computer or mobile device to the WLAN or
the LAN port of your WLAN AP in order to carry out the conguration.
• After completing the basic conguration, start ‘Setup’.
• Select the type of internet access you would like. For example, if you have a DSL connec-
tion and access data, select PPPoE here.
• Enter the full username and password for your DSL connection in the appropriate elds.
Check the information provided by your ISP for details of your connection settings,
e.g. static or dynamic IP address assignment, etc.
• Then, if desired, change the two names of the WLAN networks (2.4 and 5 GHz).
• Now select an encryption type for the WLAN. We recommend that you select the standard
WP A2-PSK here, as it offers the highest level of security . If you have devices that only
support WP A, select both standards.
• Enter a password for the WLAN. Ideally , it should be 10 characters in length and consist of
numbers as well as upper and lower case letters.
• Finally , conrm. Once the changes have been applied, setup is complete.
