3.2 Initial Configuration Steps

The VAR11N-300 offers a quick and easy three-step installation process:

1. Opret forbindelse til enheden: Use a wireless device (smartphone, tablet, PC) to connect to the VAR11N-300's default WiFi SSID, which typically starts with "VONETS_****". If configuring from a computer, ensure the PC's wired connection is disabled.
2. Access Configuration Interface: Åbn a web browser og indtast http://vonets.cfg into the address bar. You will be prompted to input the ID and password, which are typically "admin" for both.
3. Select WiFi and Complete Setup: Within the configuration interface, select your desired WiFi network, enter the password, and submit the settings. The device will restart to apply the changes.

4. Driftstilstande

The VAR11N-300 supports three primary operating modes: Router, Repeater, and Bridge. The default mode is Router, but you can switch between modes via the configuration interface.

4.1 WiFi-routertilstand

In Router Mode, the VAR11N-300 acts as a standard wireless router. It is suitable for broadband users. Connect the Ethernet cable from your modem or internet source to the WAN/LAN port of the VAR11N-300. Once configured, the device will broadcast a WiFi hotspot, allowing multiple wireless devices to connect to the internet.

4.2 Trådløs Repeater-tilstand

In Repeater Mode, the VAR11N-300 extends the coverage of an existing WiFi network. It receives the signal from your main WiFi router and re-broadcasts it, amplifying the signal and expanding the WiFi coverage area. This is ideal for eliminating dead zones or extending network access to larger spaces.

4.3 WiFi-brotilstand

The VAR11N-300 can also function as a WiFi bridge, enabling wired devices to connect to a wireless network. This is useful for devices like network printers, desktop computers without WiFi capabilities, or IP cameras that require an Ethernet connection but need to access a wireless network. The device converts the WiFi signal into an Ethernet signal via its WAN/LAN port.

5. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your VAR11N-300 device, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enhedens yderside. Brug ikke flydende rengøringsmidler eller aerosoler.
