Guida al posizionamento ottimale

The intelligent LED indicators on the rockspace AC750 Repeater assist in finding the best location for signal extension. A solid blue Signal LED indicates a strong connection to your router, while a red or off LED suggests the repeater is too far or has a weak connection. Aim for a location where the Signal LED is consistently blue.

Modalità operative

The rockspace AC750 WiFi Repeater supports two main operating modes:

• Modalità ripetitore: Estende la copertura Wi-Fi esistente del router principale. Questa è la modalità più comune per eliminare le zone morte.
• Modalità punto di accesso (AP): Converts a wired internet connection into a wireless hotspot. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the repeater's Ethernet port to create a new Wi-Fi network.

Utilizzo della porta Ethernet

The repeater includes an Ethernet port. In Repeater Mode, this port can be used to connect a wired device (e.g., a smart TV, gaming console, or PC) to your extended Wi-Fi network, providing a stable wired connection. In Access Point Mode, this port is used to receive the internet connection from your main router.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Collegamento dei dispositivi

After successful setup, your extended Wi-Fi network will be available. Devices can connect to this network using the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password configured during setup. The repeater supports up to 32 device connections, ensuring broad coverage for various electronic devices.

Funzionalità Dual-Band

The AC750 operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz band offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general browsing and smart home devices. The 5 GHz band provides faster speeds and lower latency, ideal for streaming HD video and online gaming, but with a shorter range.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Nessun potere: Ensure the repeater is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the Power LED is illuminated.
• Nessuna connessione internet:
  • Verifica che il tuo router principale abbia una connessione Internet attiva.
  • Check the Signal LED on the repeater. If it's off or red, the repeater is too far from the router or has a weak connection. Relocate the repeater closer to the router.
  • Prova a riavviare sia il router principale sia il ripetitore.
• Bassa velocità:
  • Ensure the repeater is placed in an optimal location (solid blue Signal LED).
  • Reduce interference by moving the repeater away from large metal objects, microwaves, or other electronic devices.
  • Consider the number of devices connected to the extended network.
• Errore di installazione:
  • If WPS setup fails, try the web metodo di configurazione del browser.
  • Assicurati di inserire la password Wi-Fi corretta per il tuo router principale.
  • Reimpostazione del ripetitore: If issues persist, you may need to reset the repeater to factory settings. With the repeater powered on, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button (usually a small pinhole) for about 8-10 seconds until the LEDs flash. After resetting, you will need to set up the repeater again.
• Compatibilità universale: The rockspace AC750 is compatible with all Wi-Fi 5 routers and 802.11n/g/b/ac standard routers. Ensure your router meets these standards.
