Congure Touch P5 as a
Repeater
This chapter introduces how to connect and configure your Touch P5 in repeater mode which will extend
existing wireless coverage by repeating the wireless signal. We recommend that you use repeater mode
when your home network connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate
“dead zones”. You can also use Touch P5 as an adapter to connect any Ethernet-enabled device (such as a
Blu-ray player, game console, DVR, or smart TV) to your Wi-Fi network.
As in compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the repeater devices are set to work in half-
duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the repeater has to process one-way communication
between your host network and the terminal clients; so the transmission time will be double-increased, while
the speed will be decreased.
Touch P5 supports two configuration methods: Web-based utility and Touchscreen utility. Web-based utility
includes the configuration for all functions, and it requires a connection (wired or wireless) between your
Touch P5 and the device you are using to log into the web-based management page. Touchscreen utility
supports configuration for most commonly used function, and the configuration can be easily done within a
few taps on the touchscreen.
In this chapter, we will introduce most of the configuration through the touchscreen utility.
