Repeater XR PLUS – BULLET Reset and Reload Instructions

11 March, 2022

The following instructions describe how to reset and reload the configuration for your BULLET outdoor WiFi receiver.  You should follow this procedure if you are having the following symptoms when using your JEFA Tech Repeater XR PLUS:

  • You can see your repeater’s private WiFi network, but when attempting to connect to it, you may receive an error message such as “unable to obtain IP address”, “limited connectivity”, “Self Assigned IP” or “DHCP error”
    • NOTE, your repeater’s private WiFi network may be named “jefatech-repeater” or it may be a custom name that you have given your repeater

You should first verify that your BULLET is properly connected and powered on:

  1. Verify the black cable from your BULLET is plugged into the port marked POE on your indoor AIRGATEWAY unit
  2. Verify that there are no breaks in the cable from the BULLET to the AIRGATEWAY

After verifying the above, disconnect from and reconnect to your repeater’s private WiFi network.  If you are still experiencing the same symptoms, you should reload the configuration of your BULLET:

This procedure must be performed with a computer (Windows or MAC).  It is not possible to do this procedure with a smartphone or tablet.
