When plugging into an outlet, the power turns on automatically and the eyes light. When the position of the switch on the left side of the main unit is in the center, the flashing light indicates the status of the router.


With the switch facing up, the light turns off even when the power is on.


Conversely, if the switch is set to the bottom side, the light will be constantly lit up with the power on.

Once the connection is completed, the relay's eyes should be lit up, but as I tried it over and over, I tried connecting the DANBOARD wireless LAN router and the wireless LAN repeater via a browser. Since the setting screen supports not only PC but also smartphone, this time using iPhone 5s, tap "Danboard_setup" on the Wi-Fi setting screen and connect.


Enter "192.168.111.1" in the address field of the browser, open it, enter the user name and password written on the bottom of the wireless LAN relay, and tap "Login".
