Installation

1.Plug the included power adapter into the device’s 5V DC power port and

the other end into an electrical socket.

2.Ensure that the Wi-Fi On/Off switch is set to on and that the power LED

and WAN LED are lit. If not, the device is not properly connected.

3.Use a Wi-Fi device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) to search for a Wi-Fi

network with the SSID “edimax.setup” and connect to it.

iOS 4 or Android 4 and above are required for setup on a

smartphone or tablet.

4.Open a web browser and if you do not automatically arrive at the “Get

Started” screen shown below, enter the URL http://edimax.setup and click

“Get Started” to begin the setup process.

If you cannot access http://edimax.setup, please make sure your

computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This is a simple

procedure and step-by-step instructions can be found in the user

manual.

5.Select a mode for your BR-6478AC and click “Next” to continue.

Wi-Fi Router

The device connects to your modem and provides

2.4GHz and/or 5GHz Internet (wireless and

Ethernet) access for your network devices.

Access Point

The device connects to an existing router via

Ethernet cable and provides 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz

Internet (wireless and Ethernet) access for your

network devices.

Range Extender

The device connects wirelessly to your existing

2.4GHz and/or 5GHz network and repeats the

wireless signal(s).

6.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup. For more information,

please refer to the user manual.

Browser Based Configuration Interface

After setup you can access the browser based configuration interface to

configure or change the settings of the BR-6478AC. To access the browser

based configuration interface, enter http://edimax.setup into the URL bar of

a web browser on a network device which is connected to the BR-6478AC.

If you can not access edimax.setup, connect the BR-6478AC to a

computer using an Ethernet cable and try again.

You will be prompted for a username and password. The default username is

“admin” and the default password is “1234”.

You will arrive at the “Status” screen as shown below. Use the menu down the

left side to navigate. For more information, refer to the user manual.

Troubleshooting

1. In range extender mode, is my BR-6478AC dual-band?

a. Yes. The BR-6478AC can extend 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wi-Fi signals concurrently, but

you must connect your BR-6478AC to each (2.4GHz & 5GHz) network separately

during iQ setup. During iQ Setup, you will be asked to select both a 2.4GHz &

5GHz Wi-Fi network to extend, as well as specify a new SSID (name) and

password for each of the networks that your BR-6478AC’s will

broadcast/extend.

You can disable either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi during iQ setup if

there is no appropriate source network available, or if you do not

wish to use it. If either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band is

disabled, wireless clients/devices on the same frequency band will

be unable to connect to your range extender.

2. In range extender mode, if my BR-6478AC is set up as a dual-band

extender, what happens when I connect a wired Ethernet client?

a. When you connect a network device to your BR-6478AC in range extender mode

via Ethernet cable, by default the network device will connect to the 5GHz

network. If there is no 5GHz network available, the network device will connect

to the 2.4GHz network instead.

3. In range extender mode, how do I connect to a network which

has a hidden SSID?

a. During iQ Setup, you can manually enter a Wi-Fi network name in the “SSID”

field as shown below, for either/both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, along with the relevant

encryption information.

SSID

Enter the SSID (network name) of your existing, hidden

network.

Device SSID

Enter an SSID for the BR-6478AC or leave it blank to use a

default which consists of your existing router’s SSID

(above) +"_2EX".

Encryption

Enter the encryption information for your existing, hidden

network.

4. I can’t access the Internet.

a. Ensure that all cables are connected properly. Try a different Ethernet cable.

b. Check if you can access the web based configuration interface. If not, please

ensure your computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. Refer to the user

manual for guidance if you are unsure how to do this.

c. Login to the web based configuration interface and go to Internet > WAN Setup

and check that the connection type is correct. If you are unsure which internet

connection type you have, please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

d. Connect your computer directly to your modem and check if you can access the

internet. If you can’t, please contact your Internet service provider for

assistance.

5. I can’t open the web based configuration interface.

a. Please ensure your computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. Refer to the

user manual for guidance if you are unsure how to do this.

6. How do I reset my device to factory default settings?

a. To reset the device back to its factory default settings, press and hold the

WPS/Reset button for over 10 seconds, until the power LED begins to flash.

Please wait a few minutes for the product to restart. When the device restarts,

all settings will be reset. Default settings are displayed on the product label on

the back of the device, as shown below:

Router Login

Enter this URL in a web browser to run iQ Setup or

configure advanced settings. You must be

connected to the device by Wi-Fi or Ethernet

cable.

Username/Password

This is the default username and password to

access the browser based configuration interface

when you go to the “Router Login” URL (above).

Wi-Fi Network

Name

This is the default Wi-Fi network name for the

device. Search for this name (SSID) and connect to

it in order to access the “Router Login” URL

(above).

MAC

A MAC address is unique to every device and is

used for identification within a network. Your

device’s unique MAC address is displayed here.

PIN CODE

This is your device’s PIN code for Wi-Fi Protected

Setup (WPS).

7. I forgot my password.

a. Reset the router to its factory default settings and use the default username

admin and default password 1234. Default settings are displayed on the product

label on the back of the device, as shown above.

8. My BR-6478AC has a weak wireless signal.

Weak signals are usually caused by interference from other devices or obstacles

blocking the BR-6478AC’s wireless signal:

a. Keep the device away from other radio devices such as microwaves or wireless

telephones.

b. Do not put the device in the corner of a room or under/nearby metal.

c. Ensure there are as few obstacles as possible between the BR-6478AC and your

wireless network device.

In range extender mode, the BR-6478AC’s weak wireless signal may be in turn

caused by a weak signal from your existing router. It’s important to choose a good

location for the BR-6478AC in relation to your existing wireless router. The best

location is roughly in the middle between your existing wireless router and the area

you would like to be covered by the BR-6478AC. If you are too far away from your

existing router, then it is difficult for the BR-6478AC to receive a wireless signal.

9. Do the WAN and LAN ports work the same when the device is in

different modes?

No, the WAN and LAN ports have slightly different functions depending on the

operating mode of the device.

a. In Wi-Fi router mode, the WAN port is for a direct connection to your xDSL

modem. The LAN ports are for wired network clients.

b. In access point mode, the WAN port is not functional. Connect your existing

router to the device’s LAN port, and the other LAN ports can connect wired

network clients.

c. In range extender mode, the WAN port is not functional and the all of LAN ports

are for wired network clients. Do not connect your existing router to the

device’s WAN or LAN ports, as this can cause the device to malfunction.
