On 10th January 2018 the name of the Gigaclear router was changed from its generic name “GNXBB8DB4” to “RG Village Hall”, using the above procedure

Broadband Boosters

To provide a strong wifi signal in the Social Room and the Meeting Room, there is a “TP-LINK” booster system, supplied via an ethernet (Cat 6) cable from the Gigaclear router over the main hall kitchen hatch, powered via a double 13 amp socket, high on the wall – one in the Social Room, the other in the Meeting Room.

Each booster has been set up to be ‘cloned’ to the Gigaclear router in the main hall i.e.there is only one wifi name “RG Village Hall” available – the signal switches automatically from one booster to another as people using it move around the building.

The TP Link wifi Extender User Guide can be viewed by clicking this link

The WPS Key (password) for users to enter on their smart phone or computer remains the Gigaclear generic code F2HYNPX5VVTT

Set up procedure for each of the boosters is as follows:

Plug the smallest-size unit (TL-PA4010) into the double power socket high on the wall in the Social Room. Next plug in the ethernet cable to that unit. Now plug in the larger of the units into the adjacent 3-pin socket.

In order to pair those two units, first press the “pair” button on the front of the smallest unit for 1 second then release it. Within 2 minutes, press the “pair” button on the larger unit for 1 second and release. The top LED light on each unit will blink for up to 2 minutes before remaining solid – the units have then paired. Repeat that procedure for the additional large unit (TL-WPA4220) to be used in the Meeting Room.
