push the WPS button on your wireless adapter or enable WPS with the provided software for your wireless adapter.

The Range Extender is equipped with
security features, all of which can be accessed through the web menu:

time stamps and schedules you will need to set your System Clock. To do
so, go under

If you forget your login and password, you will need to reset the Range Extender back to
default settings to access the web menu. To reset the Range Extender to default settings,
hold the reset button on the top of the Range Extender for 5-10 seconds.
Tips: Power Outages, Rebooting Routers & Channel Changes
Wireless routers operate on specific wireless channels to avoid interference with neighboring networks. Some wireless routers are
set to automatically scan for the best wireless channel. A power outage, or a simple reboot, may cause your home wireless router
to change its wireless channel and cause the Range Extender to disconnect from your home network. After a minute or two the
Range Extender will automatically reconnect to your Home Network with the new settings. However, if for whatever
reason it does not, simply log onto the Range Extender's web menu by opening your web browser and going to
http://setup.ampedwireless.com. If the page does not load, try resetting the Range Extender by holding down the Reset button on
the back panel for five to ten seconds. After the Range Extender has rebooted, open your web browser and run through the Setup
Wizard again.
Autoloading Web Menu
When the Range Extender loses its connection with your Home Network, the web menu will automatically load on your web
browser. All web address entries will be redirected to the Dashboard of the Range Extender. This redirect feature is meant to notify
and help you to easily reconfigure your Range Extender in the event of a disconnection. You may disable this feature through the
web menu (left side):
Wired Port Routing
The Range Extender automatically designates the Internet route for all devices connected through its wired ports. For example,
if you are connected to a dual band network, computers connected to the back of the Range Extender may access the Internet
through your 2.4GHz Home Network or your 5GHz Home Network. The Range Extender will automatically select an active route,
however if you feel you need to change these settings you may do so via the web menu (left side):
Settings > Wired Port
Troubleshooting Tips
PROBLEM:
I entered setup.ampedwireless.com and it failed to open the web menu.
a. Make sure your computer is connected to the Range Extender's Wi-Fi network: Amped_ArtemisEX_2.4 or Amped_ArtemisEX_5.0
SOLUTIONS:
b. Try to use a different web browser. We recommend the Google Chrome web browser.
c. Try to open your web browser to the default IP address by putting this number into your web browser instead: 192.168.1.240
d. Power off (unplug) the Range Extender and power it back on. Try again.
e. Reset your Range Extender to default settings by holding the Reset button (located on the back panel) for ten (10) seconds and
try again.
f. If steps (a) through (e) fail, disconnect your PC from all Wi-Fi networks. Attach an Ethernet cable between the Range Extender
and your PC. Try to access http://setup.ampedwireless.com again.
PROBLEM:
My Range Extender was working fine previously, but now I can no longer access the Internet through the Range Extender.
SOLUTIONS:
a. The connection to your Home Network may have been dropped or the router settings may have changed. Changes to the router
could be a result of several events, such as a power outage. When this occurs, connect to the Range Extender and access the
setup menu using the web address: http://setup.ampedwireless.com. Run the Wizard to reconnect the Range Extender to your
network.
b. Using the setup menu (setup.ampedwireless.com) check to see that the signal strength between the Range Extender and your
Home Network is above 70%. The Range Extender may be too far from your router and not maintaining a signal strength of above
70%. Check the signal strength between the router and the Range Extender through the web menu (left side): More Settings >
Management > Device Status. The Signal Strength readout will be under the Home Wireless Network Settings section. This Signal
Strength must be above 70%. If it is below, move the Range Extender closer to your router, or reposition the Range Extender.
I cannot find my Home Network when scanning for wireless networks in the web menu Scan page.
PROBLEM:
SOLUTIONS:
a. The Range Extender may be out of range. Move the Range Extender closer towards the wireless router and try the Setup Wizard again
from the web menu.
b. Make sure that your Home Network's wireless SSID is broadcasting and not hidden. Hidden SSIDs will require that you manually enter
the SSID into the Wireless Settings > Home Network menu.
