Now the extender will broadcast a temporary wifi signal. 

Thereafter, pick up any one of your smart devices like computer, laptop, mobile phone or iPad and tablet. Enable device's wifi. Then you'll find an SSID like Wavlink-AC, connect to it. For accuracy you can check the product label which is tagged on the extender's bottom. 

Users who wish to have better stability and direct connectivity can use the ethernet wire for linking the extender to the smart device. 

Up next on your paired device launch an internet browser. From google chrome, internet explorer to firefox and safari each browser works well for Wavlink AC1200 setup.

This prompt will take you to the login screen. Now you have to fill in the password and choose the language. The password by default is “admin”. For typing the password use lower case only. Then hit on Login to access the main setup screen. 

Finally you now get a chance to pick the mode in which you want to conduct the further Wavlink AC1200 setup. Wavlink AC1200 extender is versatile. It allows you to use the device in different modes. You just have to select the mode that best fits your environment. 

This is the most popular choice. This mode lets you extend your existing signals to the larger area. So after you select the repeated mode, the interface starts scanning for the nearby networks. From this list you have to pick the one whose reach you want to extend. Thereafter fill in the password of that network and hit Connect. 

AP mode turns the Wavlink into a dedicated access point. This requires a wired Ethernet connection. This connection runs from your main router to the Wavlink. AP mode is great for maximizing speed. So first select the AP or LAN Bridge mode. Then give the new name and password to the network. While doing this make sure Wavlink's DHCP server is disabled because this can cause conflicts. 

The Wavlink AC1200 can also act as a standalone router. So for this first pick the Router mode. Thereafter take an Ethernet wire and with its help connect the extender to the modem. Now you'll be prompted to pick the internet connection type. Once you choose it, fill in the details and with this wrap up the Wavlink AC1200 setup.

Once the setup is done, the only task that is left now is that of repositioning of the AC1200. So replug the extender into an area which receives 50 percent signals from the router and this spot must also be halfway from the wifi dead spot. Further for better signal transmission and great networking experience, make sure you keep the extender far from metal and electronic items. To name a few these are microwave, bluetooth devices, cordless phones, cctv cameras, aluminium doors including fish tanks, ceiling fans as well as baby monitors.
