If your router does not support WPS, or for advanced settings, you can configure the repeater via a web navegador.

1. Plug the NETVIP Repeater into a power outlet.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the repeater's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "NETVIP_XXXXXX"). No password is required initially.
3. Obre a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.10.1 or check the user manual included in the box for the exact IP).
4. Log in using the default username and password (typically "admin" for both).
5. Follow the on-screen wizard to select your operating mode (Repeater or AP) and configure network settings, including selecting your existing Wi-Fi network and entering its password.
6. Save the settings. The repeater will restart, and you can then connect your devices to the extended network.

6. Modes de funcionament

The NETVIP WiFi Repeater supports two primary operating modes:

6.1 Mode de repetidor

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the range of your existing wireless network. It receives the Wi-Fi signal from your main router and re-broadcasts it, effectively expanding your network's coverage area.

6.2 Mode de punt d'accés (PA)

In AP Mode, the device transforms a wired internet connection into a wireless one. You connect the repeater to your router or modem via an Ethernet cable, and it then broadcasts a new Wi-Fi network.

Figure 6.2: Access Point Mode Operation

This mode is useful for adding wireless capability to a wired network or creating a separate Wi-Fi network.

7. Dispositius de connexió

After successful setup, your extended Wi-Fi network will be available. The network name (SSID) will typically be your original network name followed by "_EXT" or similar. Connect your wireless devices (laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs) to this new network using the same password as your main router.

7.1 Connexió per cable

The repeater also features an Ethernet LAN port. You can connect wired devices such as desktop computers, gaming consoles, or smart TVs to this port for a stable wired connection to your extended network.
