3.3. Tengingaraðferðir

3.3.1. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Method

1. Ensure your main router supports WPS functionality.
2. Press the WPS button on your PIX-LINK WR01. The WPS LED will start blinking.
3. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your main router.
4. Wait for the WPS LED on the repeater to become solid, indicating a successful connection.

3.3.2. Web Browser Method

1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the repeater's Wi-Fi network (usually named "PIX-LINK_XXXX" or similar, without a password).
2. Opna a web vafra og sláðu inn sjálfgefna IP tölu (td, 192.168.10.1) í veffangastikunni.
3. Log in using the default username and password (refer to the included detailed user manual for specifics, often "admin" for both).
4. Follow the on-screen wizard to select your desired operating mode (Repeater or AP) and configure network settings.

4. Rekstraraðferðir

The PIX-LINK WR01 supports two primary operating modes:

4.1. Endurtekningastilling

In Repeater Mode, the device extends the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network. It receives the wireless signal from your main router and re-broadcasts it, effectively boosting the signal to areas with poor or no coverage. This mode is ideal for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones in large homes or offices.

4.2. AP (Access Point) Mode

In AP Mode, the device transforms a wired network connection into a wireless one. You connect the repeater to your router or modem via an Ethernet cable (WAN port), and it then creates a new Wi-Fi network. This is useful for adding wireless capability to a wired-only network or creating a separate Wi-Fi network.
