ONFIGURATION
In this section, we explain everything there is to know about the additional configuration options of the Manhattan Wireless
AC750 Dual‐Band Range Extender. But before we begin, a word of caution: The information presented is quite technical at
times and not easily understandable by users without any experience in setting up computers and networks. If terms like IP
address, DHCP server, WPA, SSID or WPS are unknown to you, some of the information in this section will leave you
confused. Also, ask yourself if any of the statements below apply to you. If not, there is really no need to continue reading
this section.
You should read this section if you

want to change the names (SSIDs) of the wireless networks so that you can differentiate the original wireless
home network from the range extender networks.

want to use this product as a regular wireless access point rather than a range extender.

want to change the IP address of the range extender to be in the same range as the rest of your network.

are a geek and want to know everything.

ONNECTING TO THE
The default IP address of the Manhattan Wireless AC750 Dual‐Band Range Extender is 192.168.2.2. Any computer that has a
matching IP address — i.e., in the range 192.168.2.3 – 192.168.2.254 — can connect to the range extender Web UI with any
standard Web browser at http://192.168.2.2. Alternatively, you can open http://manhattan.repeater. The user name is
"admin" and the default password is "1234."
Typically, the computer's network adapter is set up to automatically receive IP address information from a DHCP server,
such as your wireless router at home. Unless you have changed this, there is no need to make a change to the network
adapter configuration if you want to set up the range extender manually as described in the previous section. However, if
you do run a network adapter with static IP settings, you will need to either adjust these settings or change the settings to
automatic DHCP. See Section 5 – Appendix A: "Changing the IP Address of a Network Adapter" for details.
