Quick Installation Guide
Option 1 Repeater Mode Installation
If this is not your first time setting up this device, we recommend that you first reset to
start anew, and then follow the steps below. Please refer to the FAQ Question 7 for
reset instructions.
If you would like to set up your Anker device in Repeater mode with the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) security option, note that WPS may not support all systems
and may result in network conflicts. To move forward and set up Repeater mode with
WPS, please skip directly to FAQ Question 9 for more details.
We suggest you set your router to a static wireless channel for long term use. If
there are many wireless networks in range and your setting is on “Auto,” the
channel may switch often, causing disconnection. We recommend channels 1, 6,
and 11.From your router's configuration page, your channel settings can typically
be found under the "wireless settings" menu option.
Please verify that your router or modem is working properly and that your existing
devices can connect to the Internet successfully.

3. What is wireless roaming? How do I enable it in Repeater mode?
If identical SSID and security settings (security mode, password) are applied to
wireless networks of both your existing router and new Anker repeater, your wireless
devices, such as a laptop, will treat and display them as one in your list of available
wireless networks. Consequently, your laptop may choose to automatically switch
between two networks when a given network's signal becomes too weak (this
threshold is unique to each device). This is called Wireless Roaming.
For Mac users
Record the current IPv4 settings before proceeding
Note: Computers are often set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" via the
DHCP setting. If it is not, please write down the exact information of your IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway so that you can restore these settings
later.

To restore your IP settings later, please follow the same steps and input your backup
information step B above.

4. Does my Anker device provide lower peak network throughput in Repeater
Mode?
Yes. As with all wireless repeaters, the Anker device in Repeater Mode splits its
wireless bandwidth to "talk" with both your wireless router and your computer.
Therefore its peak throughput (NOT average throughput) will be lower compared with
AP-Bridge, AP-Router or Client Mode.
For most people who rarely hit peak wireless bandwidth, Repeater Mode may still be
the most convenient choice. For those who constantly use media streaming or
real-time network gaming, we instead recommend AP-Bridge mode to expand the
wireless network with less impact to peak performance.
5. Which Broadband type (or WAN setting) should I choose for Router Mode
setup?
Choose from the following options, consulting with your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) or network administrator for any required connection information:
In most circumstances, we do not recommend use of wireless roaming because:
Many devices will not automatically switch to the stronger network. They will
instead only switch networks after the connected network signal becomes
extremely weak or even nonexistent.
Wireless roaming can obstruct accurate troubleshooting.
Dynamic IP: The most commonly used setting. This option connects your Anker
repeater to most residential gateways, cable modems and some DSL modems with
built-in routing functionality (these units commonly feature multiple Ethernet LAN
ports).
PPPoE: This option connects your Anker repeater to DSL modems that lack a
routing or DHCP function or have been set to bridge mode. In this mode, you will
typically need to input an assigned Username and Password provided by your ISP.
Please leave all other fields at their default settings unless instructed otherwise by
your ISP.
If you still prefer to enable wireless roaming, please follow the instructions of Quick
Installation Guide for Repeater Mode, in Step 4.2.E please select Synchronize
Wireless Universal Repeater's Uplink AP's SSID And Security Options and skip
customizing SSID/password.

6. How do I enable WDS (Wireless Distribution System) in Repeater or AP-Rout-
er mode (advanced)?
The Anker device can support WDS, an advanced mode that allows you to create a
network of wireless access points that forward traffic to one another. Because WDS
reduces throughput, flexibility, and compatibility, only advanced users familiar with the
advantages and disadvantages of WDS should select this option.
WDS can be configured under the Repeater or Access Point (AP) router modes.
Please follow the steps below to enable WDS.
Static IP: A less common option, we do not recommend this setting unless required
by your ISP or network administrator.
For WDS-enabled Repeater setup:
Before Setup: Identify the MAC address of both your router and the Anker device.
This information is typically printed directly on the device. You should also be able to
find the router's MAC address by logging into the router's configuration page (see
your router's instruction manual).

9. How do I enable the WPS setting?
Note: WPS allows you to quickly enable security encryption between your Anker
device and your router without having to enter the device's configuration page.
However, to reduce potential network exceptions and unnecessary troubleshooting,
we recommend that users not use WPS and instead select the WPA standard for the
highest security level of Wi-Fi encryption.

Enable WPS for your Anker device in Repeater or Client mode:
With your Anker device set to Repeater or Client mode, power up both your device
and your router and position them close to one another.
Press the WPS button located on your router and on the Anker device. The WPS
LED indicators will light.
When the Anker WPS LED indicator begins to flash, the automatic setup of a WPS
connection has begun. Please wait 3 minutes until the Anker WPS LED indicator
remains steadily lit to show that the WPS connection was successful.
Your router and Anker device can now be positioned in your desired locations.
Power off both your router and Anker device and place them in your desired
locations. Then power on both devices and allow a full restart for ongoing Internet
connection with WPS mode.
Connect to the Internet
For Repeater mode: On your computer, find the Anker-Repeater network from the
list of available networks and connect.
For Client mode: Please disconnect the Anker device from your computer, and
instead connect to your non-Wi-Fi device such as your set-top box using a network
cable. This connected device can now enjoy Internet access.
