Wireless repeater If you already have a Wi-Fi network in your home, but want to extend your coverage, you can use your router as a signal repeater. Internet Modem / Roteador Repetidor Example of Repeater mode scenario

See the following sample image:

Router Repeater Residence with Wi-Fi signal repeater Note that the router’s coverage area does not cover the entire residence, so an ACtion RF 1200 is used as a Wi-Fi repeater to solve this problem. It is important to note that in this scenario, depending on the room you are in, when connecting a device (a laptop or smartphone, for example) to the Wi-Fi network it may connect either to the router or the repeater. Examples: »» If you are in the living room (C) and connect to Wi-Fi, you are connecting to your main router’s Wi-Fi network. »» If you are in the kitchen (D) and connect to the Wi-Fi network, you are connecting to the ACtion RF 1200 (repeater) Wi-Fi network. »» If you connect to the Wi-Fi network while in the dining room (A) and then you move to the bedroom (B), and the main signal network still reaches it, even if weak, your device will still be connected to the main router, not automatically switching to Wi-Fi on the ACtion RF 1200 (repeater). If you want your device to connect to the repeater and thus get a stronger signal, disable and enable your device’s Wi-Fi network again (if you don’t know how to do this, you can try restarting it so that the Wi-Fi connection with the stronger signal network occurs). The same goes for the move in the direction area covered by the repeater > area covered by the router (from the bedroom to the dining room, for example). In short: when moving between the rooms, disconnect and reconnect your device to the Wi-Fi network so that it con- nects to the network with the best signal. This process may be waived if your device automatically switches between networks. To configure the product as a wireless repeater for an existing Wi-Fi network, do the following: 1. Enable the function Wi-Fi Repeater by changing the option Wi-Fi Repeater to enabled (the button will turn green); 2. Choose the connection mode Wi-Fi Repeater in the option Wi-Fi Connection Mode; 3. Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to repeat in the field Main Wi-Fi Network Name; 4. After choosing the Wi-Fi network, if it requires a password, you must enter it in the field Main Wi-Fi Network Password; 5. Click on Save; 6. In the confirmation message, click on Ok and ACtion RF 1200 will reboot applying the settings. 7. ACtion RF 1200 will now connect to your main network and repeat it with the SSID and password set in the installation wizard or on the page Wi-Fi Network Settings>Wi-Fi Network Name and Password; 8. If you want the ACtion RF 1200 to repeat the same SSID and password as your main network, go to the web page at http://meuintelbras.local (item 4.5. Wi-Fi network settings) and configure the Wi-Fi network with the same SSID and password as your main network.

Check if all cables are connected correctly, according to the item3. Instalação and that all network equipment is active. Turn the router and the other equipment that provide your Internet connection off and on again. Check with your Internet Service Provider to ensure that there is no problem with your broadband service. If the problem continues, contact our technical support for more details. What do I do when I can't access the web wizard? Check all physical connections, according to the item3. Instalação. Your computer/laptop must be connected to the LAN port of your router, or connected to your router’s Wi-Fi network. Make sure that your computer is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the network settings. Try accessing your ACtion RF 1200 via the link http://meuintelbras.local. What can I do if I forget the wireless password? Connect a device via the network cable to one of the LAN ports on the router. Then, using a web browser, access the ACtion RF 1200 configuration interface, go to the menu Wi-Fi Network Settings > Wi-Fi Network Name and Password and set your password again. What can I do if I forget the password to access the web interface? Restore the factory settings by pressing the button RST/WPS on the back of the ACtion RF 1200 for about 20 seconds until the leds light up (1 second) and turn off afterward. What do I do when the 5 GHz network does not appear in my device? Make sure the 5 GHz Wi-Fi Network is not disabled by going to the ACtion RF 1200 Setup page in the menu Wi-Fi Network Settings > Wi-Fi Network Name and Password. Since not all devices support 5 GHz frequency, check the technical specifications of your device to see if it supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks. What to do when I can't get a good Wi-Fi connection? For a good connection to the router, your device must be within the signal range of the router, i.e., receiving Wi-Fi signal properly, and with little interference from other Wi-Fi routers or devices at the same operating frequency (2.4 or 5 GHz). To improve your connection you can try: »» Refer to the item Cuidados e segurança to check the best place to install your router. »» Change your router’s operating channel. Refer to the topicCanal e largura de banda in the item4.5. Configurações da rede Wi-Fi for more information. »» Some devices do not support higher speeds. Check the technical specifications of your device to see if it supports the same technologies as your router. My device’s Wi-Fi network (mobile phone, computer) sometimes disconnects and reconnects to the router’s network. What to do? Option 1: did you save both Wi-Fi networks (2.4 and 5 GHz) on your device, leaving it to automatically choose between them? If so, remove one of the networks on your device (for example, forgetting the network on the smartphone). Make sure the behavior stops happening. Some devices may be switching between saved networks, so you'll notice disconnections. We recommend keeping saved only one of the networks on the device that has this problem. Option 2: did you give equal names to the Wi-Fi 2.4 and 5 GHz networks? If so, change the names to make them different. For example, if your 2.4GHz network has been set up with the name My Network, change the name of the 5GHz network to My 5G network in the menu Wi-Fi network settings > Wi-Fi network name and password. For more details on Wi-Fi settings, please refer to the item 4.5. Configurações da rede Wi-Fi. Note: If no option solves your problem, please contact our support.
