JOOWIN EW74 Installation & Troubleshooting
1. AP mode & repeater mode set up method:
A. Below is the "AP mode" setup steps (a little difficult but has better signal), also a
video guidance is attached. In “ap mode”, you need two network cables.
I. Install AP product and power it by original POE adapter.(do not connect POE
adapter LAN port with your router now to avoid IP conflict) Then select EW74 wifi
and connect it.
II. Open the browser and it will automatically transfer to the menu page or you can
enter "192.168.10.1" to enter menu.
set password：admin
III. Select "AP Mode" and begin to setup.
The IP address should be the same network segment with the upper network. E.g.
my router IP is: 192.168.1.1, so I should set "192.168.1.2" here (can't be
192.168.1.1 ，cann't IP conflict with other devices).
IV. Set the corresponding parameters and save settings. After setup is successful, wait
about 2 minutes.(AP configure the setup program) Then, re-connect wifi "EW74" and
connect the POE adapter LAN port with your router LAN port.
Now you can surf the internet for free.
Note: After set up successfully, you need to enter "192.168.1.2" (depends on the IP
you set earlier in step III) to enter the menu interface.
You can place AP outside（weatherproof）and POE adapter indoor（not waterproof）.
But you may need a long network cable to power up the AP.
B. The "repeater mode" setup steps is easy (simple but has some network speed
loss). In “repeater mode”, you need only one network cable.
I. Install AP product and power it by original POE adapter. Then select EW74 wifi and

Summary

AP Mode and Repeater Mode Setup Methods

AP Mode Setup Steps

Detailed steps for AP mode setup, requiring two network cables for improved signal quality.

Repeater Mode Setup Steps

Simple setup for repeater mode, which may result in speed loss and requires one network cable.

Troubleshooting Slow Internet or Missing 5 GHz Signal

Recommended Wi-Fi Band and AP Connection

Connect to router's 5G band and AP's 2.4G band for optimal performance and wall penetration.

Optimizing Country Code, Channel, and Bandwidth

Adjust country code, channels (e.g., 36), and bandwidth (e.g., 40MHz/80MHz) for speed and stability.

Minimizing Rate Loss with Wired Connections

Wired connections and AP mode minimize rate loss compared to repeater/bridge modes.

Login and Reset Procedures

Accessing System Interface in Repeater Mode

Login to the system interface using '192.168.10.1' when the device is in repeater mode.

Accessing System Interface in AP Mode

Access the system interface using '192.168.1.x' based on your AP mode IP configuration.

Device Reset Method

Step-by-step guide to reset the device via power cycling and pressing the reset button.

Enabling PC Mutual Access in AP Mode

Configure LAN port IP and static PC IPs for mutual access between devices in AP mode.

IP Address and Traffic Statistics in AP Mode

AP mode does not display terminal IPs or traffic stats; these are managed by the superior router.

Advanced Configuration and Signal Issues

Fixed IP Requirement in Router Mode

Discusses the need for fixed IP and ARP binding in the firewall when using router mode.

Troubleshooting Background System Login

Identifies mode (repeater/AP) to resolve issues with accessing the background system.

Modifying Network Name and Background Login

Guides on changing WiFi name and accessing the background system via specific IPs based on mode.

Improving Signal Strength and Range

Tips for signal improvement: adjust bandwidth, use antennas, optimize placement, and use recommended band connections.

Troubleshooting Specific Issues

POE Adapter Flashing Indicator

Addresses POE adapter flashing, suggesting product burnout and advising to use original adapters.

Fixing Weak Security Issues

Contacting support for a config file to disable TKIP encryption and enable WPA2-AES.

Changing Wi-Fi Name and Password

Instructions for modifying the Wi-Fi extender's name and password through the 'LAN-wireless' settings.

Resolving Timed Disconnections

Check 'time restart' settings, enable internet sync, and set the correct time zone.

Repeater Mode Setup Failures

AP Mode vs. Repeater Mode Success Factors

Identifies potential causes for repeater mode failure, like incorrect password input or case sensitivity.

Resetting Device After Setup Failure

Recommends resetting the device to factory defaults if setup programs encounter errors.

Verifying Repeater Mode Connection Status

Check the 'connected info' in the system interface; status should show 'Linked' for successful setup.
