How to setup the YN8351 Wavlink AC1200 IP65 Outdoor range extender with POE

The YN8351 AC1200 IP65 Outdoor range extender is ideal for extending your existing ISP modem/router's Wi-Fi to hard-to-reach areas, and also provides a single cabled network port at the remote location for non-Wi-Fi devices.

Decide how you want to use the unit:

You will need to choose between two different usage options:

I have a network cable from my existing modem router at the location where I want Wi-Fi

I do not have a cable from my existing modem router and need to extend via Wi-Fi only

I have run a network cable from my modem router to where I want Wi-Fi

You will need a phone or a device with Wi-Fi to set the unit's admin and Wi-Fi password. Run through the steps below before you mount the unit and attach the cable gland. If your existing network cable is plugged into a POE switch, you won't need the mains power adapter, cable, or the white box in the package.

• Unpack the extender and attach the antennas (they are labeled 2.4G and 5G, as are the sockets)
• Plug your existing network cable into the white box socket labelled LAN DATA IN

• Plug the Wavlink network cable into the white box socket labelled POE 

• Plug the other end of the Wavlink cable to the POE IN socket on the outdoor extender

• Plug the mains plugpack into a power socket and connect it to the white box
• Press the button on the white box. A green LED should come on

• Wait until the extender's LED labelled STATUS is flashing fast
• On your phone, go to Settings, Wi-Fi, and join any visible WAVLINK access point

• If the phone asks if you want to connect always, choose this option

• Wait for the WAVLINK admin page to load (Android / PC: open a browser and go to 192.168.30.1) 
• Type the password admin and press Login

• Choose Australia from the country/region dropdown
• Choose your timezone
• Type a new password to replace admin in the Admin Password box (numbers only are fine) 
• Type the same password again in the Confirm Password box
• Press Next

• You can retype the SSID (this is the Wi-Fi name you will connect to) or leave it as is. 
• Type a Wi-Fi password (you can use the same password as your existing Wi-Fi)
• Press Save

• The unit will reboot. When the signal/status LEDs go solid, you can connect to the new Wi-Fi AP

• You can connect a cabled network device, or network switch, to the LAN port on the extender

I do not have a cable from my modem router and need to extend via Wi-Fi only

You will need a phone or a device with Wi-Fi to setup the extender, and you must know your ISP modem/router's Wi-Fi password. Run through the steps below with the extender in the same room as your existing Wi-Fi, make sure it works by connecting to it with your phone, unplug it, and then mount the unit and attach the cable gland at the final location.

• Unpack the extender and attach the antennas (they are labeled 2.4G and 5G, as are the sockets)
