4. Configuração

Follow these steps to set up your Gembird Wi-Fi Repeater.

4.1 Colocação Inicial

1. Plug the repeater into a power outlet in the same room as your main Wi-Fi router. This ensures a strong initial signal for configuration.
2. Wait for the LED indicator to stabilize, typically indicating the device is powered on and ready.

4.2 Connecting to the Repeater

You can connect to the repeater wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable.

Conexão sem fio:

1. No seu computador ou dispositivo móvel, procure por redes Wi-Fi disponíveis.
2. Connect to the network named similar to "Gembird_XXXXXX" or "Wireless-N" (default SSID). This network will not have internet access yet.

Conexão com fio:

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the repeater's Ethernet port.
2. Conecte a outra extremidade do cabo Ethernet à porta Ethernet do seu computador.

4.3 Acessando o Web Interface

1. Abra um web navegador (ex: Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
2. Na barra de endereços, digite o endereço IP padrão: 192.168.10.1 e pressione Enter.
3. A login window will appear. Enter the default username and password (usually administrador for both). Refer to the device label if these credentials do not work.

5. Modos de operação

The Gembird WNP-RP300-03 supports two main operating modes:

5.1 Repeater Mode (Wi-Fi Extender)

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the range of an existing wireless network. It connects to your main router's Wi-Fi signal and re-broadcasts it, creating a larger coverage area. This is the most common mode for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones.

5.2 AP Mode (Access Point)

In AP Mode, the device connects to your wired network (e.g., via an Ethernet cable from your router) and creates a new wireless network. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network or for creating a separate Wi-Fi network.

6. Configuração

Após efetuar login no web interface, you can configure the device for your desired operating mode.

6.1 Configuração do Modo Repetidor

1. Do web interface, selecione Modo Repetidor.
2. O dispositivo irá procurar redes Wi-Fi disponíveis. Selecione sua rede Wi-Fi principal (SSID) na lista.
3. Enter the password (security key) for your main Wi-Fi network.
4. You can choose to keep the same SSID for the extended network or create a new one. It is generally recommended to use a different SSID (e.g., "YourNetwork_EXT") to easily distinguish between your main and extended networks.
5. Clique Aplicar or Salvar. O dispositivo será reiniciado.
6. Once restarted, unplug the repeater and move it to a location between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Ensure it receives a good signal from your main router (check the LED indicator for signal strength).
7. Connect your devices to the new extended Wi-Fi network.

6.2 Configuração do modo AP

1. Do web interface, selecione Modo AP.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your main router (or network switch) to the Ethernet port on the Gembird repeater.
3. Configure the new Wi-Fi network's SSID (network name) and password (security key).
4. Clique Aplicar or Salvar. O dispositivo será reiniciado.
5. Once restarted, your new Wi-Fi network will be active. Connect your wireless devices to this new network.

6.3 Changing Login Credentials

For security, it is highly recommended to change the default administrator username and password for the repeater's web interface. Look for a 'System Tools' or 'Management' section within the interface to update these credentials.
