How to Extend Your Wi-Fi Signal to Cover Over 200 Meters

Introduction

If you are a home or office Wi-Fi user, you might face a common problem with normal routers that only support a few feet when it comes to Wi-Fi signals. This can lead to weak connections and frustrating dead zones in various parts of your home or office. It's especially troublesome when you need a strong signal in your yard, garage, or other distant areas. However, there's a solution. You can connect the TP-Link EAP110 device to your router to extend your signal.

This guide shows you how to extend your Wi-Fi signal to cover over 200 meters using Omanda 110.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need the following:

• Omanda 110 device. This device extends Wi-Fi signals for over 200 meters.
• Indoor and Cat 6 cable.
• Outdoor Cat 6 cable.
• Passthrough crimping tool.
• Passthrough RJ45 connectors.
• RJ 45 Plug covers.
• Wall metal mounting mast.

Prepare the LAN Cables and Mounting Pole

You'll start by setting up the foundation for a stable and extended Wi-Fi signal by preparing LAN cables and mounting the pole. The goal here is to ensure your Omanda 110 device is optimally placed for maximum signal reach.

• Mount a pole outside your home or office where you want to place the waterproof Omanda 110.
• Use the crimping tool to prepare two LAN cables:
• Use an indoor Cat 6 cable for the internal connection. It should be short since it connects the Omanda 110 PoE adapter to the router, which are close to each other.
• Use an outdoor Cat 6 cable for the external connection. It should be long enough to reach from the router's location to the outside mounting Pole.

Configure Omanda 110

This section covers connecting your computer to the Omanda 110 device and configuring it to ensure it operates within your network parameters. These configurations allow you to take control of your new Wi-Fi range extender.

• Connect your computer to the Omanda 110 using an Ethernet cable.
• Access the device configuration page by navigating to 192.168.0.254 in your web browser.
• Log in with the default credentials usually enter admin for both the username and password fields.
• Set a new strong admin password for security.
• Set up a Wi-Fi SSID (network name) for the extended signal.
• Change the Omanda 110 IP address to ensure it matches the range allowed by your existing router. You can also set the IP address to dynamic to ensure your existing router assigns the correct IP address to the Omanda 110 router.

Connect Omanda PoE Adapter to Power and Router

Now it's time to power up your Omanda 110 and make the necessary connections. This section ensures that your device is properly integrated into your network.

• Locate the power port and the two Ethernet ports on the Omanda 110 PoE adapter.
• Connect the first Ethernet port (labeled LAN) to the router that has the weak signal.
• Connect the second Ethernet port to the outdoor Cat 6 cable that leads to the Omanda 110. For now, leave the other end of the outdoor cat 6 cable because you'll connect it to the Omanda 110 device outside your home or office.

Mount Omanda 110

Proper placement of the Omanda 110 is crucial for optimal performance and signal reach.

This section guides you through securely mounting the device outside your home or office.

• Mount the Omanda 110 on the pole you installed earlier for a clear line of sight.
• Connect the other end of the outdoor Cat 6 cable to the Omanda 110.
• Ensure the device is securely fastened to withstand weather conditions.

Connect to the New Wi-Fi Signal

Finally, you’ll connect to your new, stronger Wi-Fi signal to enjoy the extended coverage. This step ensures that all your devices can benefit from the improved range.

• Ensure the Omanda 110 and your existing router are powered up.
• Search for the new Wi-Fi SSID you set up earlier on your phone or laptop.
• Connect to this network and enjoy the stronger, extended Wi-Fi signal.

Conclusion

You've now successfully extended your Wi-Fi signal to cover over 200 meters with Omanda 110. Now you can enjoy a strong, reliable connection in your lawn, nearby offices, and other distant areas. With the Omanda 110, you've overcome the limitations of normal routers and ensured seamless internet access across a larger area.
