I entered setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the web menu.
a.  Make sure your computer is connected to the Range Extender’s Wi-Fi network: Amped_TitanEX_2.4 or Amped_TitanEX_5.0
b.  Try to use a different web browser. We recommend the Google Chrome web browser.
c.  Try to open your web browser to the default IP address by putting this number into your web browser instead: 192.168.1.240
d.  Power off (unplug) the Range Extender and power it back on. Try again.
e.  Reset your Range Extender to default settings by holding the Reset button (located on the back panel) for ten (10) seconds and 
     try again.
f.   If steps (a) through (e) fail, disconnect your PC from all Wi-Fi networks. Attach an Ethernet cable between the Range Extender 
     and your PC. Try to access http://setup.ampedwireless.com again.

My Range Extender was working fine previously, but now I can no longer access the Internet through the Range Extender.
a.  The connection to your Home Network may have been dropped or the router settings may have changed. Changes to the router 
     could be a result of several events, such as a power outage. When this occurs, connect to the Range Extender and access the 
     setup menu using the web address: http://setup.ampedwireless.com. Run the Wizard to reconnect the Range Extender to your
     network.
b.  Using the setup menu (setup.ampedwireless.com) check to see that the signal strength between the Range Extender and your 
     Home Network is above 70%. The Range Extender may be too far from your router and not maintaining a signal strength of above 
     70%. Check the signal strength between the router and the Range Extender through the web menu (left side): More Settings > 
     Management > Device Status. The Signal Strength readout will be under the Home Wireless Network Settings section. This Signal 
     Strength must be above 70%. If it is below, move the Range Extender closer to your router, or reposition the Range Extender.

I cannot find my Home Network when scanning for wireless networks in the web menu Scan page.
a.  The Range Extender may be out of range. Move the Range Extender closer towards the wireless router and try the Setup Wizard again 
     from the web menu.
b.  Make sure that your Home Network’s wireless SSID is broadcasting and not hidden. Hidden SSIDs will require that you manually enter 
     the SSID into the Wireless Settings > Home Network menu.

Setting the Range Extender’s System Clock

In order for your Access Schedules and logs to perform using the correct 
time stamps and schedules you will need to set your System Clock. To do 
so, go under 

Management 

and access the 

System Clock 

tab to sync the 

System Clock with your computer’s time or to sync with the Internet.

Setting a Login & Password for the Web Menu

This login/password is NOT the wireless network key used to connect to your wireless network.

For added security you may want to set a login and password to access the web menu. To 
do this, go to 

More Settings > Management > Password 

on the left side of the web menu.

If you forget your login and password, you will need to reset the Range Extender back to 
default settings to access the web menu. To reset the Range Extender to default settings, 
hold the reset button on the top of the Range Extender for 5-10 seconds.

Tips: Power Outages, Rebooting Routers & Channel Changes

Wireless routers operate on specific wireless channels to avoid interference with neighboring networks. Some wireless routers are 
set to automatically scan for the best wireless channel. A power outage, or a simple reboot, may cause your home wireless router 
to change its wireless channel and cause the Range Extender to disconnect from your home network. 

After a minute or two the 

Range Extender will automatically reconnect to your Home Network with the new settings.

 However, if for whatever 

reason it does not, simply log onto the Range Extender’s web menu by opening your web browser and accessing, 
http://setup.ampedwireless.com. If the page does not load, try resetting the Range Extender by holding down the Reset button on 
the back panel for five to ten seconds. After the Range Extender has rebooted, open your web browser and try again. 

When the web menu appears, run through the Wizard again to reconfigure the connection to your Home Network. To prevent the 
channel changing issue from occurring in the future, you may log onto your router’s web menu and set the wireless channel from 
Automatic to a static channel number. You will need to reconfigure the Range Extender with the new channel. If you are not sure 
how to access your router’s web menu, contact the support department for the brand of your wireless router.

Autoloading Web Menu

When the Range Extender loses its connection with your Home Network, the web menu will automatically load on your web 
browser. All web address entries will be redirected to the Dashboard of the Range Extender. This redirect feature is meant to notify 
and help you to easily reconfigure your Range Extender in the event of a disconnection. You may disable this feature through the 
web menu (left side): 

More Settings > Network Settings > IP Settings

. The feature is titled: Auto-DNS.

Wired Port Routing

The Range Extender automatically designates the Internet route for all devices connected through its wired ports. For example, if 
you are connected to a dual band network, computers connected to the back of the Range Extender may access the Internet 
through your 2.4GHz Home Network or your 5GHz Home Network. The Range Extender will automatically select an active route, 
however if you feel you need to change these settings you may do so via the web menu (left side): 

More Settings > Network 

Settings > Wired Port Routing

.
