ZyXEL WRE2205 N300 Wireless Range Extender/Repeater


Brilliant Once Set Up
As others have put before the item works a treat once set up but set up is not click and play. I tried to use the auto set up but got nothing out of it so then tried it manually.

This doesn't have to be where you want it to live after set-up - but you have to be able to connect it to a computer for now. If you have a laptop then it is fairly easy. In my case I plugged it in next to my desktop PC just to get it set up and working.

Connect it to a laptop or PC using an ethernet cable (they've even put one in the box to help you) and switch the extender on. Leave it for a minute or two to wake up. Open your browser (they suggest IE or Firefox) on the computer and either go to "192.168.1.2" or use the URL given on the instruction sheet ([...] where...
