If your router does not support WPS or you prefer a manual configuration, follow these steps:

1. Plug the WiFi Extender into an electrical outlet near your main router.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the extender's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "UPPOON_Extender"). This network will not have internet access initially.
3. Aprire un web browser and enter the default IP address or domain name provided in the quick start guide (e.g., 192.168.1.254 or extender.local).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in (default credentials are often admin for both username and password) and select your existing Wi-Fi network to extend.
5. Configure the extended network's name (SSID) and password. It is recommended to use a different SSID to distinguish it from your main network.
6. Once configured, unplug the extender and move it to a suitable location.

3. Modalità operative

The Uppoon WiFi Extender supports multiple operating modes to suit various networking needs.

3.1 Extender Mode (Repeater Mode)

In Extender Mode, the device wirelessly connects to your existing router and rebroadcasts the signal, extending its coverage. This is the most common mode for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.

In AP Mode, the extender connects to your router via an Ethernet cable (RJ45) and creates a new wireless network. This is useful for converting a wired network connection into a wireless one, providing Wi-Fi access in areas where only wired connections are available.
