Adding a Wi-Fi Repeater to the Security System
To add a Wi-Fi repeater to the security system:
The Wi-Fi repeater must be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable during the
installation process. After the Touchscreen configures the repeater, place the router in its
final location. Keep the following in mind when determining where to place the repeater:
Place the repeater an equal distance between the security router and the device that is
furthest from the router. If the repeater broadcasts stronger signals and is placed too
close to the router, the repeater could cause the router to stop transmitting signals. As a
result, the customer would need to restart the security router often. The optimal distance
will differ in each home. Some experimentation may be required to determine placement.
If the customer has a home Wi-Fi repeater, avoid placing the security repeater nearby, if
possible.
Note:
The security system supports only one Wi-Fi repeater.
