Instructions to Set Up Rockspace Extender
Step 1: First, you need to unbox your Rockspace WiFi extender and keep it aside very carefully.
Step 2: Then, you have to decide where to plug it in. Because the wall socket must not be away from your router. Just in case, the wall plug is not near to your router or a bit away from it, you can use the extension. The reason being, you have to connect your extender and router using an Ethernet source. And, it is not possible with two wall sockets in different places.
Step 3: After connecting your router and the extender properly using an Ethernet source, turn them on and ensure to provide them a steady power supply.
Step 4: Now, what you have to do – turn on a WiFi-enabled device.. Disconnect all the WiFi networks that are being displayed on the list of available and active SSID. Doing so will prevent signal interference.
Note: No matter which WiFi device you are using, just ensure that its software version isn’t outdated.
Step 5: Open a web browser – hover your mouse cursor over the browser’s address bar, and enter http //re.rockspace.local. To prevent typing errors, copy http //re.rockspace.local and paste it carefully.
Note: No matter whether you are making typing errors in the web address or not, if you choose the search bar for entering http //re.rockspace.local, then it will never work for you.
Step 6: Press Enter and thus the TP Link extender login page displays.
Step 7: On the required fields of TP Link extender login page, provide the username and password of your device and click OK, Log In, or Done.
Note: Options depends upon the device you are using.
Step 8: Here comes the importance of the extender manual. Follow the configuration instructions as per the model you have provided in TP Link extender setup page.
Note: If you don’t want to mess up with the Rockspace WiFi extender setup process and reply us with negative responses, its better go with the instructions provided in the manual. Why? Because, options, instructions, etc. everything vary upon model to model.
Step 9: You are done! Your Rockspace WiFi extender is configured successfully.
