Product Information
The product is a device manufactured by Wavlink. It is designed to extend the range of a Wi-Fi signal from a host router, allowing users to connect to the internet in areas with weak or no signal coverage. The device has a management page that can be accessed to configure various settings, including Wi-Fi setup and security options.
Common Problems
- Device Overheating: It is normal for the device to get hot during operation. This should not affect its usage.
- Weak Security Warning: If you receive a weak security warning when connecting the Wi-Fi signal with your iPhone or Mac, you can resolve this issue by logging into the device’s management page. Go to Wi-Fi setup and change the Security Type to WPA2.
- Signal Repeating Issue: If you are unable to successfully repeat the signal from your host router, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
- Reset the device by pressing the reset button for 6 seconds and configure it again. Resetting helps resolve most unexpected problems.
- Ensure that the password entered on the device matches the password of your router. Pay attention to the case sensitivity.
- Place the repeater closer to your router and ensure that you receive at least 3 bars of signal strength from the router. A strong signal from the router makes it easier for the repeater to repeat the signal.
