Operating instructions

WLAN 300 Mbps Repeater
• Check the location in which you installed the repeater; we recommend plugging in the repeater
for configuration in the immediate vicinity of your WLAN router.
• Check whether the WPS function is activated in the firmware on your WLAN router or whether
your WLAN router supports this procedure at all.
• Check whether your WLAN network is using a hidden SSID; we recommend not hiding the SSID
for the initial setup.
• Check whether your WLAN network is using the 2.4 GHz band. The Hama repeater only supports
the 2.4 GHz band.
6.2 Using a browser
To manually connect the repeater to your WLAN router using a browser, the following require-
ments must be met:
Your computer/notebook must be equipped with a network port that automatically obtains an IP
address from your WLAN router.
The following description applies to users with Windows 8; the specific steps may differ for users
with older Windows versions, Linux or Mac OS X.
• Plug in the WLAN repeater in the immediate vicinity of your notebook/PC and wait until the power
LED lights up.
• Start up your PC/notebook with Windows 8; switch from the tile view to the desktop.
• Connect your computer to the Hama repeater using the included network cable.
• Start your Internet browser and enter the following in the address bar: Hama.repeater or
192.168.2.254 (you may need to enter http:// in some browsers).
• Confirm the input by pressing Enter.
Note
► The factory settings of the WLAN repeater are such that in case of a “standard
installation”, you can easily access the repeater from Windows, MAC OS X or Linux.
If you are performing a custom installation, problems may arise when you attempt
to start up the device from a browser.
► If you cannot access the repeater by entering Hama.repeater or 192.168.2.254,
check whether your operating system is set up to automatically obtain the IP
address (= standard installation; consult the instructions or help manual for your
operating system).
