If I'm not connecting this string to a data repeater, do I need to do anything with those 4 loose wires on the end?

Emily, no ... the end connectors can stay loose and exposed. You only need a repeater if you plan to string more than two sets together. However, rather than using a repeater, I swapped out the original transformer with an 8 amp version from LEDwholsalers (8 Amp 12 Volt Ac Power Adapter with 3 Prong Plug with 5 Mm Dc Output Jack, 3224-12V), which has no trouble powering three 16.4 strips.

You can cut them off at the cut off point on the strip. Strip will work perfectly fine without them if you do not need to use the data repeater. :)

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

My experience is you can string 5 16' sets together without repeating. Afterwards you would need to repeater for another 5 sets.

I don't think so, It shouldn't be an issue using your current wiring set up to disconnect and attach to this unit.

No... Thy are two wire in the cable so the electricity will bypass a burnt out light (filament),and go on to the next one..or 100!,I'm sitting under my string now just thinking ",party on a box".

I would return the whole string. We bought 8 boxes of these and haven't had any go out. It sounds as though that strand is defective.

I threw 8 of these away after 2 years because 4 of them failed. Read the reviews they are junk. My guess though is you have a poor connection. Did you use the pigtail that came with it? Is the three prong connector fully engaged, locked in? How about the wire nuts?

You should not loose anything. This is simply a addition to the router outlets you have. Make sure that jumper wire from your router is going in to the first outlet on the switch. then use all the rest to plug everything else in.

No. First you connect it with the cable and then log into settings and set it to work as a repeater and then disconnect and it will be a wireless repeater.

if its gonna be your main router than router mode, if you already have a wireless router and your wifi printer is to far away or doesnt work with it then repeater mode

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

Yes, but careful - it doesn't actually have a bridge mode as advertised. You can still get the job done in repeater mode.

Yes it's copper wire and yes it's stranded. Make sure you are using 12 gauge if you are running longer distances. I used the 12 on a 100ft. run

I've been in other environments where we have had other "repeaters" working in conjunction, but I've never done it with this particular model. Double check with manufacturer.

You may not have big enough power supply, I'm using an old computer power supply that's I've modified to put out full current continuously, but you may also just want to add another repeater too which may cure your problem also, I'm using 2 repeaters and have 1 1/2 strands on each and have no problems yet and run them for 8-10 hours at a time, but you need plenty of power for them.

Make sure you properly installed the spool according to instructions. your string might be improperly wound...

Yes you can. Remember, you need a repeater every 5 meters. I highly recommend you to seal and protect well where you join the wire to the strip piece. I personally add hot glue and string plastic to secure it.
