RangeMax WiFi Range Extender Setup Manual

30 Help with Troubleshooting

v1.0, March 2008

Verify that the WiFi range extender address (192.168.1.250) is listed by your computer as the

default gateway/router address.

My Wireless Performance Is Poor

If your wireless performance is poor, there are several potential causes.

To improve poor performance:

Verify that you have disabled your ISP gateway/router/router’s wireless feature (for help, go to

http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WPN824EXT.asp, and click the link for your region).

2. Verify that your device is associated with the WiFi range extender. The Test light blinks slowly

if there is no wireless client associated with the extender.

I Need to Restore the Default Password and Configuration

Settings

This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the

extender’s administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.1.250.

To restore the factory default configuration settings, use the restore factory settings button

on the rear panel of the extender:

Use a sharp object like a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the restore factory settings

button for about 20 seconds (see “Extender Back Panel” on page 4), until the Test light on the

front turns on.

2. Release the restore factory settings button, and wait for the extender to restart.

The factory default WiFi range extender address is 192.168.1.250. However, if the

extender detects a conflict with the address it gets from your gateway/router, it

automatically picks a different address for itself. In this case, you can log in to the

extender using www.mywifiext.net to verify its LAN IP address. Select LAN IP

Setup under Advanced on the main menu. Take note of the LAN TCP/IP setup IP

address, which should match the default gateway/router IP address on your

computer.

This procedure will erase all the current configuration settings and restore the factory

defaults.
