I have a Zyxel WRE2205 Wireless N300 device and can't make it work. Could you help me?

Question

It is new and I can't make it work. I am looking for instructions but there is nothing on the web.

In the manual it says:

1. Connect a PC with ethernet cable to extender.
2. Open a web browser and enter the URL.
3. Follow the wizard setup.

Answer 1

This is actually a wireless extender. It acquires the signal from other WiFi enabled device (usually a router) and it broadcasts it even further. To configure it, connect a network cable between your computer and the device and wait a few seconds. Once the IP has been acquired, go to Start > CMD and then type ipconfig /all. Scroll down to the Default Gateway and note the IP somewhere. Paste that IP into the browser then you can access the configuration interface and configure various settings.
