settings and connect to Amped_ALLY_XXXX. This will

Download the App
Download the Amped Wireless ALLY app on your
Android or iOS device. Search for ALLY Whole Home
Wi-Fi System on the Google Play or Apple Store, or visit
ampedwireless.com/allyapp. We support Android 4.4+
and iOS 9+.
1Create Your Wi-Fi Network
At the end of the setup, you will be asked to create a
name and password for your new Wi-Fi networks.
Tip: The 5GHz network is faster than the 2.4GHz
network, but a 2.4GHz will have more range.
4Set Up Your ALLY Extender
Find a spot halfway between your ALLY Router and the far end of your
home. If you have a two story home, it is recommended that your ALLY
Router and ALLY Extender are on opposite floors.
Power on the ALLY Extender using the included power adapter with the
yellow sticker.
Wait about 3 minutes, or until the LED stops blinking and turns a solid
green, orange or red. If the light is green or orange, then you've found a
good spot. If the light turns solid or blinking red, then the ALLY Extender is
too far from the ALLY Router. Move it closer and try again until the light
turns solid green or orange.

Do This
When the LED is solid green,
the Extender is placed in a good
spot. Orange is sufficient, but
green will perform better.
Not This
When the LED is red, the Extender
is too far from Router and will not
work. Move it closer.

During setup on the ALLY app, I get an error message that says: "No Internet
Detected" and I cannot finish the setup.
Reset your modem by holding down the Reset button located on the back of the modem for approxi-
mately five seconds. Try the automatic configuration again.
Static IP: Your Internet connection may require a static IP setting. Check with your ISP to obtain the IP
settings. You can set Static IP using the ALLY app by running through the setup process and tapping
"Manually configure your ALLY" when the Connection Error page appears.
DSL Connections: Your Internet connection may require login information. If you are using PPPoE mode,
you will need to manually configure your Internet connection settings and obtain your username and
password. You can set a PPPoE connection using the ALLY app by running through the setup process
and tapping "Manually configure your ALLY" when the Connection Error page appears.

My Wi-Fi coverage is poor or my Wi-Fi speeds seem slow. It doesn’t seem
like my ALLY Extender is working.
Power on the ALLY Extender and check that the status LED is either green or orange. If the color is
red this means the ALLY Extender is too far from the ALLY Router. Power off the ALLY Extender and
move it to a location closer to the ALLY Router and power it on again. Check that the ALLY Extender
LED is green or orange. If it is still red repeat the above steps.
If the ALLY Extender LED is flashing red, this means it does not have a connection to the ALLY Router.
Check that the ALLY Router is powered on. If it is, reboot the ALLY Extender by powering it off and
back on. If the LED remains flashing red, move the ALLY Extender closer to the ALLY Router and check
again until the LED turns green or orange.
If your LED remains flashing red after trying (a) and (b), please contact Elite Support.

I see an error "No Connection to ALLY" when using the ALLY app.
The ALLY Router and the ALLY app can no longer communicate. Check that the ALLY Router is
connected to the modem correctly. Reboot your modem or the ALLY Router if necessary.

I wish to configure advanced settings on the Router, such as changing Wi-Fi
channels, configuring port forwarding, USB storage, etc.
To access the advanced settings menu, connect to the ALLY’s Wi-Fi network. Open a web browser
and go to: http://setup.ampedwireless.com. You will be prompted for a password which can be found
on the ALLY app by going to Settings (icon on the top right corner of the status page) and then going
to Advanced settings. Some features on the Web Menu will be disabled when the Router is in use with
the ALLY app.
a)
How can I remove my ALLY Router from my ALLY app account?
Go to the ALLY app and tap on the settings icon on the top right corner of the home screen. From the
settings screen tap "Erase all data & disconnect ALLY". This will remove your ALLY Router and allow
you to set the ALLY Router to a new account or an existing account.
a)
I wish to use the ALLY Router and Extender without the app. How do I do this?
If you have never set the ALLY Router up using the ALLY app follow these steps: Power on the ALLY Router
and connect to the ALLY’s Wi-Fi network. Open a web browser and go to: http://setup.ampedwireless.com
to access the web menu and web based setup wizard. Follow the steps to configure your ALLY Router.
If you have previously configured the ALLY Router using the ALLY app and you wish to no longer use the
ALLY app with the Router follow these steps: While the ALLY Router is powered on, reset the ALLY Router
by pressing the Reset button on the bottom of the Router for 10 seconds. The status light should blink
rapidly when the Router has been reset. Once this is done, follow the steps in (a) to configure the Router
using the Web Menu.
