Configure Touch P5 as a

Repeater

This chapter introduces how to connect and configure your Touch P5 in

repeater

mode

which will extend the existing wireless coverage by repeating the wireless

signal. We recommend that you use repeater mode when you want a larger wireless

coverage to eliminate “dead zones”. You can also use Touch P5 as an adapter to

connect any Ethernet-enabled device (such as a Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or

smart TV) to your Wi-Fi network.

3. 1.

Quick Setup

Touch P5 supports two configuration methods:

Web-based utility

and

Touchscreen

utility

.

Web-based utility

includes the configuration for all functions, and it requires a

connection (wired or wireless) between your Touch P5 and the device you are using

to log into the web management page.

Touchscreen utility

supports configuration for

most commonly used functions, and the configuration can be easily done within a few

taps on the touchscreen.

In this chapter, we will introduce most of the configuration through the touchscreen

utility.

3. 1. 1.

Option 1: Through Touchscreen Utility (Recommended)

The Quick Setup app on the touchscreen will guide you through the process to connect

your Touch P5 to the host network and set up its extended network.

1.

Install the antennas and position them vertically.

2.

Plug your Touch P5’s power adapter into an electrical outlet

near

your host router.

Turn it on and wait until the system boot on the screen completes.

3.

On the menu screen, tap the

Mode Selection

icon to start it.

4.

Select

Repeater

mode and tap

Save

.

process.
