4. Driftstilstande

The rockspace AC1200 WiFi Extender supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs:

4.1 Repeater-tilstand

I repeatertilstand opretter extenderen trådløs forbindelse til din eksisterende router og amplifies its signal, extending Wi-Fi coverage to areas with weak or no signal. This is the most common mode for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.

4.2 Adgangspunktstilstand (AP)

In AP Mode, the extender connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and creates a new wireless network. This is ideal for converting a wired network connection into a wireless hotspot, providing Wi-Fi access in areas where only wired connections are available.

4.3 Klienttilstand

In Client Mode, the extender connects to an existing wireless network and provides a wired connection through its Ethernet port to a device that does not have Wi-Fi capabilities (e.g., a desktop PC, smart TV, or gaming console).

5. Optimal placering

For best performance, place the rockspace AC1200 WiFi Extender halfway between your main router and the area where you need improved Wi-Fi coverage. Use the Signal LED indicator on the extender to help find the optimal location:

• Ensfarvet blå: Excellent signal strength.
• Fast rød: Svag signalstyrke. Flyt extenderen tættere på routeren.
• Slukket: Intet signal.

6. Fejlfinding

• Intet signal eller svagt signal: Ensure the extender is placed optimally between your router and the desired coverage area. Check the Signal LED for guidance. Avoid placing it too far from the main router.
• Langsomme hastigheder: While the extender boosts coverage, the speed might be slightly reduced compared to direct router connection. Consider the difference between 2.4GHz (better penetration, longer range) and 5GHz (faster speed, shorter range, more susceptible to obstacles like walls). Connect devices to the 5GHz band for speed-intensive activities if within range.
• Unable to Access Web Interface: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network (e.g., 'rockspace_EXT') and not your main router's network. Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
• Extender Not Powering On: Verify that the extender is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the PWR LED indicator.
• Forbindelsen falder ofte fra hinanden: This could be due to interference from other electronic devices or neighboring Wi-Fi networks. Try changing the Wi-Fi channel on your main router or relocating the extender.
