What can I do in the settings menu of my WL-330 (which settings are there 
and what can I change)? 

 

Introduction 

The settings menu of your WL-330 allows you to customise the settings of this range extender. If you 
have  a stable  internet connection, we  advise you not  to change  anything here. If you nevertheless 
decide to do so, prepare thoroughly: 

 

Please read this entire FAQ carefully so you know which settings you can change. 

 

Make a note of the current settings! Take screenshots, for example. That way you can always 
go  back  to  the  current  situation  if  something  should  go  wrong.  You  can  also  back  up  the 
current settings in a separate file, so you can restore them later if something goes wrong. For 
more information about this feature, see the section entitled 

Tools tab

 

If in doubt, always read the entire manual for the WL-330, which is on the accompanying CD-
ROM.  

 

Applying changes in the GUI 

The WL-330 will reboot itself after changes are made in the settings menu. After a reboot you must 
often reconnect to the WL-330. For more information, see the section entitled 

Applying changes

 

Login 

You always log in through a browser.

 

 

Home screen of the Settings menu 

Once you are logged in, you always start out on the screen shown below (

Home

). This is the first tab 

of  the  settings  menu.  You  cannot  make  any  changes  here.  This  page  provides  an  overview  of  the 
current  settings.  Here  you  can  see  which  network  the  range  extender  is  connected  to  and  which 
channel it is transmitting on.
