—————————————————————————————————————
I cannot connect to my Home Network. I received an error when running the Wizard.
a. Your Home Network may be secured. Double check that you have the correct security key to connect
to the Home Network.
b. Your Range Extender may be located too far from your Home Network. Run through the Setup Wizard
again. On the SCAN page, your Home Network should show a signal strength of 70% or greater. If it
does not, move the Range Extender closer to your Home Network and try again.
c. Check to see that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled. The Range Extender needs to
obtain an IP from your Home Network router.
I cannot find my Home Network when scanning for Wi-Fi networks in the Wizard.
a. The Range Extender may be out of range. Move the Range Extender closer towards the Wi-Fi router
and try the Wizard again from the Web Menu. It is recommended that your Home Network shows a
signal strength of 70% or greater in the Wizard SCAN results.
b. The Home Network may be a dual-band Wi-Fi router. The Range Extender supports 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz
routers. If your Home Network uses a dual-band router, it will not work with the Range Extender. Adjust
the dual-band router’s configuration to disable the 5GHz band.
c. Go to the Smart Features tab in the web menu and access the Wi-Fi Coverage Controls. Make sure the
setting is at 100% and try again.
—————————————————————————————————————
d. Make sure that your Home Network’s Wi-Fi SSID is broadcasting and not hidden. If your Home Network
SSID is hidden, you will need to manually set up the Range Extender through the Wi-Fi Settings > Home
Network Settings menu.
My Range Extender was working fine previously but now I can no longer access the Internet through the Range
Extender. Or, I had a POWER OUTAGE and now the Range Extender no longer works.
a. The connection to your Home Network has been dropped. This can be caused by several events to your
home Wi-Fi connection. When this occurs, simply run the Wizard again from the web menu and
reconfigure the Range Extender.
b. The Range Extender automatically reconfigures itself in the event of a channel change on your router.
However, in the case that it does not, check to see that your home Wi-Fi router settings have not
changed. Any changes to the SSID, security, or channel number from the original settings will disconnect
the Range Extender’s connection to the home network. A power outage can cause a change in the
channel of your router. To solve this simply run the Wizard again from the web menu and reconfigure
your Home Network connection. You can also set a static channel number on your router to prevent
this from happening again in the future.
c. If you cannot access the web menu, check to see that your Range Extender is still on. Reboot the Range
Extender by unplugging the Range Extender and plugging it back in. Check to see if your connection has
————————————————————————————————————
been reestablished by viewing a website. If you do not have a connection, logon to
http://setup.ampedwireless.com and configure a new Home Network connection.
d. Check to see that your home Wi-Fi router is still on. If it has been turned off please turn it back on. The
Range Extender should automatically reconnect to your Home Network within 10 minutes.
I have a dual-band router and I cannot extend it.
a. Log into the Web Menu for your dual-band Wi-Fi router and adjust the Wi-Fi settings. Change the WiFi
band to 2.4GHz single band mode only. The Range Extender will not be able to extend the 5GHz band.
I cannot find any Wi-Fi networks (Home Networks) to extend.
a. The Range Extender may be out of range. Move the Range Extender closer towards the Wi-Fi router
and try the Setup Wizard again from the Web Menu.
b. The antenna on your Range Extender may be loose. Tighten the antenna connection and try again.
c. The Wi-Fi Home Network may not be a compatible Wi-Fi network (802.11b/g/n).
—————————————————————————————————————
I am connected to a Home Network, however, I do not have Internet Access.
a. The Home Network itself may not have Internet access. Check to see that you have internet access by
connecting directly to the Home Network first. If you are able to go online then this is not a problem. If
you cannot go online, then the Home Network’s Internet connection must first be resolved.
b. You may have a DNS issue and the Range Extender is not obtaining the IP settings from your Home
Network. Try to reboot the Range Extender and then accessing a website. If that fails, then reboot the
Home Router to see if that fixes it.
c. There may be an IP conflict with your Home Network and your Extended Network. Try to adjust the IP
Settings of your Extended Network using IP values that are different from your Home Network.
I can no longer connect to the Range Extender wirelessly.
a. Power on and off the Range Extender and try again.
b. The connection to the Home Network may be down. Use an Ethernet cable and connect directly to the
Range Extender. Access http://setup.ampedwireless.com and run through the Wizard again. After you
have successfully reset the Home Network connection, try connecting wirelessly again.
—————————————————————————————————————
I could NEVER log onto the Range Extender Wirelessly.
a. Check that your Wi-Fi adapter supports WPA2 Wi-Fi security. If it does not then you will need to change
the Wi-Fi security on the Range Extender. Go to the Web Menu, select Wi-Fi Settings and then Wi-Fi
Security. Select the Extended Network from the drop-down menu and either disable security or
downgrade the security to WEP. Try connecting again.
b. The connection to the Home Network may be down. Use an Ethernet cable and connect directly to the
Range Extender. Access http://setup.ampedwireless.com and run through the Wizard again. After you
have successfully reset the Home Network connection, try connecting wirelessly again.
c. If you have previously connected to the Range Extender or a device with the same network
name (SSID), the password might be saved in your devices Wi-Fi profile. Delete the Wi-Fi
profile and try again. (Refer to your device Manufacturers guide on how to delete the Wi-Fi
profile.)
I can no longer access the Web Menu or the Range Extender no longer responds.
a. Connect to your Range Extender and try to access http://setup.ampedwireless.com using your web
browser.
b. If you are advanced in networking troubleshooting, log onto your home router’s web interface. Look
for the DHCP client list and try to find the IP address of your Range Extender assigned by your home
—————————————————————————————————————
router. Once you have it, connect to the Range Extender using an Ethernet cable. Open your web
browser and enter the IP address into the address bar.
c. Reset the Range Extender back to default settings and try the Wizard again. To reset the Range Extender
back to default settings, push the Reset Button (on the back panel) down for five (5) to ten (10) seconds
then let go. After the Range Extender has fully reset, use an Ethernet cable and connect to the Range
Extender. Login to the Web Menu at http://setup.ampedwireless.com and run through the Wizard.
The connection to the Home Network seems slow. File transfers take a long time to transfer.
a. You may be too far away from your Home Network. The closer the Range Extender is to your Home
Network, the better its connection will be. The Range Extender must have a strong signal in order to
extend the signal with fast speeds and further range. Move the Range Extender closer to your Home
Network and try again.
b. You may be downloading from the Internet and not within your Home Network or Extended Network.
