Optimal placeringsvejledning

The intelligent LED indicators on the rockspace AC750 Repeater assist in finding the best location for signal extension. A solid blue Signal LED indicates a strong connection to your router, while a red or off LED suggests the repeater is too far or has a weak connection. Aim for a location where the Signal LED is consistently blue.

Driftstilstande

The rockspace AC750 WiFi Repeater supports two main operating modes:

• Repeater-tilstand: Udvider den eksisterende Wi-Fi-dækning på din primære router. Dette er den mest almindelige tilstand til at eliminere døde zoner.
• Access Point (AP) tilstand: Converts a wired internet connection into a wireless hotspot. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the repeater's Ethernet port to create a new Wi-Fi network.

Brug af Ethernet-port

The repeater includes an Ethernet port. In Repeater Mode, this port can be used to connect a wired device (e.g., a smart TV, gaming console, or PC) to your extended Wi-Fi network, providing a stable wired connection. In Access Point Mode, this port is used to receive the internet connection from your main router.

Dual-Band Functionality

The AC750 operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz band offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general browsing and smart home devices. The 5 GHz band provides faster speeds and lower latency, ideal for streaming HD video and online gaming, but with a shorter range.

• Ingen internetforbindelse:
  • Bekræft, at din primære router har en aktiv internetforbindelse.
  • Check the Signal LED on the repeater. If it's off or red, the repeater is too far from the router or has a weak connection. Relocate the repeater closer to the router.
  • Try restarting both your main router and the repeater.
• Langsom hastighed:
  • Ensure the repeater is placed in an optimal location (solid blue Signal LED).
  • Reduce interference by moving the repeater away from large metal objects, microwaves, or other electronic devices.
  • Consider the number of devices connected to the extended network.
• Opsætningsfejl:
  • If WPS setup fails, try the web browseropsætningsmetode.
  • Sørg for at indtaste den korrekte Wi-Fi-adgangskode til din primære router.
  • Nulstilling af repeateren: If issues persist, you may need to reset the repeater to factory settings. With the repeater powered on, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button (usually a small pinhole) for about 8-10 seconds until the LEDs flash. After resetting, you will need to set up the repeater again.
