Method 2: PC Setup
1.
Connect your computer to the extender's WiFi network name (SSID):
wifi-5G-
XXXX
or
wifi-2.4G-XXXX
(‘XXXX’ is the last 4 letters of the MAC Address that is
labelled on the back of the extender).
2.
Launch a web browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari) and enter
192.168.188.1
in the
address bar.
You can also connect your computer and extender with an ethernet cable, then
launch a web browser and enter
192.168.188.1
to configure your extender.
Note
: If the login page does not appear, try another web browser and attempt
configuration once more. If the above method fails, you can also try resetting the
extender before attempting to configure it again.
3.
Enter the default password:
admin
(must be lower case).
4.
Select your home WiFi network name (SSID) you want to extend.
5.
Enter the password of your home WiFi network.
6.
Set your extender’s new WiFi network name and password.
Note:
The default WiFi network names (SSID) of the extender (Foscam_6-pro-2.4G
and Foscam_6-pro-5G) can be changed. The default passwords can also be
changed (the default password is your router’s WiFi network password).
7.
Please check your extender's WiFi network name (SSID) and password. If they are
correct, click Start Connect and wait 30-60s.
Tips:
After configuration is completed, if you want to change your extender's WiFi
network name or password, you must reset your extender and perform the
configuration process again.
8.
After setup is completed, please view the first three indicator lights. If they are
solid green, that indicates the configuration process was successful. If the lights
are not on, please reset the extender and attempt configuration once more. To
surf the web, please connect your devices to your extender's WiFi network name
(SSID)", which was set in Step 6.
