If you cannot access http://edimaxext.setup, please make sure
your computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. For more
information please refer to the user manual.
4. Please read the on screen instructions about selecting a good location for
your wireless extender and then click “NEXT” to continue. You can check
your signal strength on the next page.
5. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the security
key/password. You can also enter a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) if you
wish. Click “Next” to continue.
By default, the Wi-Fi extender’s new wireless network name
( SSID) is your existing router/access point’s SSID + _2EX. For
example if your router’s SSID is “Your SSID” then the EW-7438RPn
Air ’s SSID will be “Your SSID_2EX”. You can change your
extender’s new SSID in the “Extender Device SSID” field.
Do not check “Connect to a hidden network” unless you wish to
connect to a hidden SSID instead. Refer to the user manual for
more information.
6. Please wait while the EW-7438RPn Air tests the connection.
If your Wi-Fi extender cannot obtain an IP address from your
existing router/access point then click the “Static IP” button to
assign an IP address to the extender. For more guidance please
refer to the user manual.
