4.3 Powering the Device (PoE Connection)
The repeater is powered using the included 48V Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter.
- Open the bottom cover of the outdoor access point to access the Ethernet ports.
- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (up to 60 meters) to the LAN/WAN port of the repeater.
- Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to the 'PoE' port on the 48V PoE adapter.
- Connect another Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the 'LAN' port on the PoE adapter.
- Plug the PoE adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator on the repeater should light up.

7. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your WONLINK Outdoor WiFi Repeater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen strøm/LED'er slukket | PoE adapter not connected or faulty. Power outlet issue. | Ensure the PoE adapter is securely plugged into a working power outlet and connected correctly to the repeater. Check the power outlet with another device. |
| Ingen internetforbindelse | Incorrect configuration. Router issue. Ethernet cable problem. | Verify the repeater's configuration (AP, Repeater, Router mode). Check if your main router has internet access. Inspect Ethernet cables for damage. Try restarting both the router and the repeater. |
| Weak WiFi signal or dead zones persist | Poor placement. Interference. | Relocate the repeater to a more central position between your router and the desired coverage area. Ensure minimal physical obstructions. Avoid placing near large metal objects or other signal-emitting devices. |
| Cannot access configuration page | Incorrect IP address. Network settings on PC. | Ensure your computer is connected to the repeater via Ethernet. Verify the repeater's IP address (check manual or network settings). Temporarily set your computer's IP to static within the same subnet as the repeater. |
| Slow speeds on 5 GHz band | Distance from device. Obstructions. | The 5 GHz band has shorter range and is more susceptible to obstructions. Move closer to the repeater or ensure a clear line of sight. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact WONLINK customer support for further assistance.
