Setek Wireless Repeater Setup: How to Begin?
Unbox the Repeater
You need to begin with unboxing the Setek wireless repeater or the extender. We assume it is a brand-new device. So, open the box and see that you have got everything in good condition. You will get a repeater, power adapter, user guide, etc. You might also get antennas if they are detachable. Some repeater models also have an Ethernet cable in their package. Keep everything that you receive with care.
Note: If this is an old Setek WiFi repeater and you are setting it up once again then make sure that it runs on the factory settings. You need to reset it and then go for the setup process.

You should now place your repeater at a suitable place in the home. Since you have invested in a range repeater, the ideal location would be halfway between the host router and the area with no WiFi signals. You should have an available electrical outlet to supply power to the range repeater.
Power Down Host Router
Before proceeding to set up your Setek repeater, we recommend you switch off the host router. This seems a simple step, but this helps to avoid many setup issues beforehand. The router recovers its settings. So power down the router and unplug its power cable for some time.
