How to Set a Wireless Bridge/Repeater:
The first thing you need to know ahead of time is the wireless SSID (network name) and password of the device that
you want to connect to if it has a security enable on it. Note it is case sensitive so make sure you have everything
exactly the way it is.
If you are using a hotspot device such as the MiFi units, the wireless password is printed on the inside cover of the
unit.
Connect the router to your pc with the Ethernet cable in one of the 4 ports (not the WAN port)
Open your web browser such as internet explorer or Fire Fox (do not use any other browser to set up router, after it
is set up, you can use any browser to surf)
Log into the router,
http://192.168.10.1
username: root
password: admin
1. If your hotspot or other router that you want to get the internet from has as the ip address range of
192.168.10.something, then you need to do the following 2 steps, if not go to step 3.
Note that most devices such as the wifi hotspot do not have this address so most likely you can skip this.
Go to "Network -> Interfaces -> LAN" and and set the IP address subnet to something other than the ip range of the
origin router.
(example, if the original router is 192.168.10.1, then you have to change the setting on this router such as to
192.168.50.1, but both router cannot have same ip address)
2. If you had to change the router ip address, Select the "Save and Apply" button. Since you just changed the IP of
the router, you will need to re-connect your PC to the router (DHCP). Close your browser and wait for a few mins
then reopen browser again.
You can also speed this up by taking out the network jack at back of the router and put it in another one of the 4
ports. Else worst case, just reboot your pc.
After your PC has received a new IP address, enter the router's new IP address in your web browser and re-login to
the router using the new ip you selected.
If you changed the router ip for example to 192.168.50.1, then you need to enter this in order to log into the router.
If you make a mistake and loose connection to the router, you can reset the router by hold down the reset button in
the back (next to the USB port) for 2 seconds while the power is on the router. After you release the button, the
router will reset back to the default address 192.168.10.1
3. Go to "Network -> Wifi Bridge/Repeater"
