II. Connect the router to the internet

1. Connect your smartphone or computer to the WiFi network of the router. The WiFi name can be found on the bottom label of the device.

2. Start a web browser and enter tendawifi.com in the address bar to access the router's web UI.

3. Follow the onscreen setup wizard to connect the router to the internet.

Done. When the LED indicator is solid green, the network connection is successful.

To access the internet with:

• WiFi-enabled devices: Connect to the new WiFi network you set.

• Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.

Scenario 2: Set up as an add-on node

Tips

• This router can be networked with Tenda WiFi+ routers.

• Ensure that the existing router (primary node) has been connected to the internet and the router (secondary node) to be added has never been used. If not, reset this router first.

• Two RX12L Pro are used as an example here. If the router fails to be added to an existing network, contact Tenda customer service for help.

I. Add the router to an existing network

1. Place the router in an elevated and open position within 3 meters from your existing router.

2. Use the power adapter to connect the router to a power source.

3. Press the WPS button of the router for about 1-3 seconds. The LED indicator blinks green quickly. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button of the existing router for 1-3

seconds to negotiate with this router.

When the LED indicator of the router lights solid green, the networking is successful and the router becomes a secondary node in the network.

II. Relocate the router

1. Refer to the following relocation tips to locate the router to a proper position:

• Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.

• Keep your routers away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, and refrigerators.

• Place the routers in a high position with few obstacles.

2. Power on the router again.

3. Wait 1-2 minutes and observe the LED indicator of the router. If the LED indicator is solid green, the connection between the primary node and secondary node is good.

Otherwise, move the router (secondary node) closer to the existing router for better connection quality.

Done.

To access the internet with:

- WiFi-enabled devices: Connect to your WiFi network. (The WiFi name and WiFi password of the new router are the same as the existing router.)

- Wired devices: Connect to a LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
