Bediening

LED-indicatoren

Understand the status of your repeater by observing the LED lights:

• Voedings-LED: Solid blue indicates the device is powered on. Blinking may indicate a startup sequence.
• WLAN/WiFi-LED: Solid blue indicates Wi-Fi is active. Blinking indicates data transmission.
• Signal LED (if present): Multiple bars or colors indicate the strength of the signal received from the main router (in Repeater Mode). Aim for a strong signal (e.g., 3 bars or green color).
• LAN/WAN-lampje: Solid blue indicates a wired connection is active. Blinking indicates data transmission.

For best performance in Repeater Mode, place the device:

• Halfway between your main router and the area where you need improved Wi-Fi coverage.
• Within the range of a strong signal from your main router.
• Away from large metal objects, concrete walls, and interference sources like microwaves or cordless phones.
