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.

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,

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.
7
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.
