The VANIN EC4-1200 Wi-Fi Extender is a device designed to expand the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network, eliminating dead zones and improving signal strength. It operates as a repeater, taking an existing Wi-Fi signal and rebroadcasting it to extend its range.

Function Description:

The primary function of the EC4-1200 is to extend a Wi-Fi network. It can be configured using two main methods:

1. Web UI (User Interface): This method involves connecting a device to the extender's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "Juplink-EC4-1200" or "Juplink-EC4-1200_5G"), then accessing a web browser to navigate to router.juplink.com or 192.168.0.2. Users can then log in with default credentials (admin/admin), select the Wi-Fi network to extend, and enter its password. The extender automatically copies the SSID and password from the router, but users have the option to modify these settings for the extended network.
2. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup): This method offers a quicker setup for routers equipped with a WPS button. Users simply press the WPS button on the router and then on the extender within two minutes to establish a connection.

Once configured, the extender creates an extended Wi-Fi network, allowing devices to connect to it for improved signal strength and coverage.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Operating Temperature: 0~45°C (32~113°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10%~90% RH (Non-condensing)
• Storage Temperature: -40~85°C (-40~185°F)
• Storage Humidity: 5%~95% RH (Non-condensing)
• Wi-Fi Standards: Supports 2.4G and 5G networks, including WPA2-PSK encryption.
• Power: The device is powered via a standard electrical outlet.

Usage Features:

• LED Status Indicators:
  • PWR (Power): Off (Powered off), On (Powered on).
  • 2.4G/5G Signal LED: Off (No Wi-Fi signal or Powered off), On (Normal connection but No transmitting data), Flashing (Transmitting data).
  • WPS: Off (Function not enabled or Powered off), On (WPS is enabled and connected), Flashing (WPS is enabled and connection being established).
  • Wi-Fi Signal Strength Indicator LED: One LED (Weak reception, strength below 25%), Two LEDs (Good receiving, strength of 50~75%), Three LEDs (Excellent receiving, strength above 75%). These LEDs help users determine the optimal placement for the extender.
• Relocation Guidance: After initial setup, the extender should be plugged into an outlet between the router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The goal is for the 2.4G/5G Signal LED to turn solid green or for the Wi-Fi Signal Strength Indicator to show at least two LEDs, indicating good reception.
• Dual-Band Support: The extender supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks, allowing for flexibility in extending different types of networks.
• SSID and Password Customization: Users can choose to keep the default SSIDs and passwords (copied from the router) or customize them for the extended network.
• Troubleshooting: The manual provides extensive troubleshooting tips for common issues such as:
  • No power or LED indicators.
  • Inability to find the Wi-Fi network of the repeater.
  • Difficulty logging into the web page.
  • Failure to extend the SSID.
  • No internet access after extension.
  • Poor signal strength.
  • Repeater not working after a period of time.
  • Issues with the repeater's IP address.
  • Problems with the repeater's channel.
  • Inability to find the repeater's Wi-Fi network.
  • Issues with the repeater's authentication and encryption.
