How to set up a Wavlink AC1200 range extender in a local network?

The range extender is set up in a home to remove the Wi-fi dead zones from the router’s network. It repeats the Wi-fi signals from the network source to extend them and deliver a robust Wifi signal speed to the computer. You can check the type of connections you can create during the setup process through the Quick guide. You need a computer if you want to perform the setup process through a web browser.

Note: Before the wifi.wavlink.com setup process, make sure you put the range extender in a repeater mode.

Steps to setup a Wavlink AC1200 router in a local network

  • Unbox the Wavlink AC1200 range extender and adjust its antennas.
  • Now connect the device to a power source.
  • Meanwhile, open the Wi-fi settings and search for the available Wifi networks.
  • If the Power LED of your range extender turns solid that means the device has successfully turned on.
  • Connect to the range extender’s network using the default wireless settings.
  • You can fetch the default Wireless settings from the back of your device.
  • Once you are connected to the extender’s network, open a browser on the computer
  • Type wifi.wavlink.com in the address bar of the browser and hit enter.
  • You can also type 192.168.10.1 as the URL of the browser.
  • Type down the default login password in the provided field and hit Login.
  • The default login password of the Wavlink range extender login window is “admin”.
  • Select the regions, Time zone and assign a login password.
  • Assign the Time zone from the drop-down list. It is based upon the region from where you are operating the extender.
  • Click Next when you get done.
  • Personalize the Wi-fi settings by assigning a new Network Name and Wi-fi password.
  • If you want to apply the same Wi-fi password to both the Wi-fi bands, select the “Use the same password for both the networks” option.
  • Assign a security level to a router’s network. 
  • Do not assign an open security level to the router. It creates a blockage for unknown users to deny you from accessing the network.
  • WPA/WPA2 is strongly recommended for the security type of the extender’s network.
  • Click Next.
  •  Review the settings you made with the help of the summary page. You can note down the significant settings for further use.
  • Click Finish and the range extender setup process is complete.
  • The range extender automatically initiates the reboot process to apply the settings you made.
  • Wait until the reboot process is complete.
  • Once done, go to the desktop and connect to the extender’s network using a new network name and a Wifi password.
  • Once connected login to the wifi.wavlink.com interface using a new login password.

 

Note: If you want to perform the setup process using a WPS connection method, make sure the router with which you want to connect the range extender supports the WPS connection. The router should have a WPS button in the rear panel to connect to the range extender through the WPS connection.
