Troubleshooting

WiFi Booster for Mobile WN1000RP

My router security is WEP, and I entered the wrong passphrase or security key on the

booster. I cannot access the booster any more. What can I do?

The booster cannot check to see if the WEP passphrase is correct. If you entered the wrong

assphrase, your wireless device is not able to get the IP address from the booster. You must

reset the booster to the factory defaults to get the IP address back.

I have completed the Installation Wizard, but my wireless devices cannot get the IP

ddress from the booster. What can I do?

Make sure that the passphrase you entered on you

r wireless device is correct, and power

cycle the booster and your router. If your device is still not able to get the IP address:

1. Move the boo

ster closer to your router, and move your wireless device closer to the

booster.

2. Disable

the wireless interface and enable it again to see if your wireless device can get the

IP address.

3. If your rout

er has a MAC filter (wireless access control), disable it, and follow the instructions

in the FAQs to add the device’s MAC address to your router.
