3.1 Method 1: WPS Setup

1. Plug the extender into a power outlet near your main router.
2. Wait for 30 seconds for the extender to power on.
3. Ana yönlendiricinizdeki WPS düğmesine basın.
4. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on the Prolink DH-5202 extender.
5. The LED indicator on the extender will change to green when successfully connected.

3.2 Yöntem 2: Web GUI Kurulumu

1. Genişleticiyi elektrik prizine takın.
2. On your computer or mobile device, connect to the extender's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., Prolink_XXXX).
3. Bir tane aç web tarayıcıya gidin ve http://dh5202.setup.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a login password for the extender.
5. Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to extend (preferably the 5GHz band for better speed).
6. Enter the password for your main router's Wi-Fi network.
7. The extender will then connect and extend your network.

4. Çalışma Modları

The Prolink DH-5202 can operate in two distinct modes:

4.1 Tekrarlayıcı Modu

In Repeater Mode, the extender wirelessly connects to your existing Wi-Fi network and re-broadcasts it, extending the coverage area. This mode is ideal for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones and providing wireless connectivity to devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, and laptops in areas with weak signals.

4.2 Erişim Noktası (AP) Modu

In Access Point Mode, the extender connects to your main router via an Ethernet cable. It then creates a new dual-band wireless network, effectively turning your wired connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot. This mode is suitable for situations where you have an Ethernet port available but need to provide wireless access.

5. Optimum Yerleştirme

Proper placement of your Wi-Fi extender is crucial for maximizing its performance and ensuring stable network coverage. Use the Smart LED Indicator to find the best location.

• Place the extender roughly halfway between your main router and the Wi-Fi dead zone.
• Uzatma kablosunu büyük metal nesnelerin, beton duvarların veya elektromanyetik girişim yayan cihazların (örneğin mikrodalga fırınlar, kablosuz telefonlar) yakınına yerleştirmekten kaçının.
• LED göstergesini gözlemleyin:
• LED ise Yeşil, the connection is good.
• LED ise Sarı, the connection is unstable; try adjusting the position slightly.
• LED ise Kırmızı, the connection is poor; move the extender closer to the router.

7. Sorun Giderme

If you encounter issues with your Prolink DH-5202 extender, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Güç Yok: Uzatma kablosunun çalışan bir elektrik prizine güvenli bir şekilde takılı olduğundan emin olun.
• No Wi-Fi Signal from Extender: Check the LED indicator. If it's off or blinking red, the extender may not be powered on or connected to the main router. Re-attempt setup.
• Poor Connection (Red/Yellow LED): Relocate the extender closer to your main router. Ensure there are no major obstructions between the router and the extender.
• Erişilemiyor Web Grafiksel Kullanıcı Arayüzü: Ensure your device is connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network (e.g., Prolink_XXXX) and you are typing the correct address (http://dh5202.setup) into your browser. Avoid using "https://".
• Yavaş Hız: Ensure the extender is placed optimally (Green LED). If extending a 5GHz network, ensure your devices also support 5GHz for best performance. Consider switching to AP mode if a wired connection to the router is feasible.
• Giriş Şifresini Unuttum: If you forget the extender's login password, you may need to perform a factory reset. Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) and press and hold it for about 10 seconds while the extender is powered on. This will revert the extender to its factory default settings, and you will need to set it up again.
• Network Extension Failure (Blinking Red LED): This often indicates an issue with the connection to the main router. Verify the main router's Wi-Fi is active and the password entered during setup is correct. Try restarting both the router and the extender.
