Here's a tip: To avoid manually connecting to the repeater every time, change the SSID (the WiFi network you are using) to the original WiFi network's SSID. For example, if your existing WiFi network is called "Home," when setting up the repeater, change the RangeXTD SSID to "Home" as well. This way, your device will always connect automatically through the repeater whenever it is in range.
