Gosod a Gosod

The WONLINK Outdoor WiFi Extender supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation. The main unit is weatherproof, but the PoE adapter must be installed indoors.

Cysylltiad PoE

The included 24V PoE adapter provides both power and data connectivity to the extender unit via a single Ethernet cable. This allows for flexible placement of the extender up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) from the power source.

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (up to 100m) to the PoE port on the 24V PoE Adapter.
2. Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Outdoor WiFi Extender unit.
3. Connect your router or network switch to the LAN port on the 24V PoE Adapter using another Ethernet cable.
4. Plug the 24V PoE Adapter into a standard indoor power outlet.

Mowntio'r Extender

The extender can be mounted on a wall or pole using the provided stainless ties and screws. Ensure the mounting location provides optimal signal coverage and is within the 100m PoE cable limit.

Initial Configuration (Recommended AP Mode for Outdoor Use)

For optimal performance in large outdoor areas, the wired AP (Access Point) mode is strongly advised. This involves connecting the extender directly to your router via an Ethernet cable through the PoE adapter.

1. Connect the extender to your computer using an Ethernet cable (via the PoE adapter) for initial setup.
2. Agor a web browser and navigate to the default IP address provided in the Quick Installation Guide (typically 192.168.1.1 or similar).
3. Log in using the default credentials (usually admin/admin).
4. Follow the on-screen wizard to configure the device. Select Modd AP ar gyfer defnydd awyr agored.
5. Set your desired WiFi network name (SSID) and password.
6. Save settings and restart the device if prompted.

Dulliau Gweithredu

The WONLINK Outdoor WiFi Extender supports four primary operating modes to adapt to various network requirements:

• Modd AP (Pwynt Mynediad): Converts a wired network connection into a wireless one. Ideal for creating a new WiFi hotspot or extending a wired network wirelessly. This is the recommended mode for large outdoor deployments.
• Modd Ailadrodd: Extends the coverage of an existing wireless network by receiving the WiFi signal and re-transmitting it. Best used when the extender is placed within 3-5 meters of the main router for optimal signal reception.
• Modd y Llwybrydd: Functions as a primary router, connecting to a modem and providing both wired and wireless internet access to multiple devices.
• Modd y Bont: Connects two separate wired networks wirelessly, acting as a wireless bridge between them.
