Login to the router from a browser (in the URL bar: 192. 168. 0. 1 or 192. 168. 1. 1 are the standards). If you’ve enabled a password, enter your login and password credentials now. If you haven’t, then standard settings for most routers are a login of admin and a password of password, or admin and admin.
If you haven’t changed the name of your wireless network or SSID, do so now and make a note of it. This will help when setting up your wireless repeater.
You will establish your primary router as your base station at this point. Make sure that you select the base station functions for this router and not repeater settings.
The MAC address for your wireless repeater will be printed on a sticker located on the back of the unit. The MAC address will be 12 characters. They will be either 8 groups of 2 characters separated by hyphens or colons, or 4 groups of 4 separated by periods (i. e. 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 0123. 4567. 89ab).
The first sets should be 192. 168. 0 (or 192. 168. 1), and you will enter the final digit. You can enter any number between 1 and 255. Write down this new IP address because you will need it to login to the wireless repeater if you need to change settings in the future.
