4.0 Halo WiFi Extender
The Halo long-range WiFi extender system takes a weak WiFi signal – at a marina, for
example, or truck stop, basecamp, etc – and amplifies that signal and routes it through
the RedPort Optimizer WiFi hotspot. It has a marine enclosure designed for outside
installation. Install the WiFi Extender almost anywhere outside.
For your convenience, the Halo WiFi Extender Quick Start Guide can be found in
Appendix B of this document. It includes important information regarding the physical
connection setup.
4.1 Configure Connection to the Halo
With the Halo powered ON and connected to the Optimizer. Login to the Optimizer
router with either username = admin or with username = superadmin (see Section 3.0
Getting Started for details).
Configuration requires two steps to connect:
4.1.1 Step 1. Connect to the External WiFi Network
Select <Connect> button
CAUTION: Attach the antenna to the Halo body BEFORE powering the unit.
Powering the Halo without the antenna attached will damage the unit and may
render it inoperable.
