Q&A

1. What’s the role of a WiFi extender?
   A: Boosts the range of your existing WiFi and creates a stronger signal in hard-to-reach areas. Please note that it can’t increase the WiFi speed of your router, the speed of the extending WiFi will be reduced.

2. Where should I place the WiFi extender?
   A: We would suggest that after setting up successfully, please move this WiFi extender halfway between your router and your weak signal area. The location you choose to install it must receive a WiFi signal of a certain strength, otherwise, it is prone to dropouts because the original WiFi signal is too weak.

3. How to reset the WiFi extender?
   A: Press the WPS/Reset button of your extender for 10 seconds then release it, and wait to restore factory settings, when you can search the initial WiFi signal of the extender again through your mobile phone or laptop, it means the reset is successful.

4. Why the WiFi keeps disconnecting?
   A: The installation is too far away from the router, causing the WiFi signal received by the repeater to be too weak. If you still have a WiFi disconnecting problem, please contact us via [email protected].

5. After the setup is successful, connect to WiFi but cannot access the Internet.
   A: There would be 3 reasons, setup unsuccessfully, WiFi password entered incorrectly, conflict with the host router.

6. Connect the WiFi signal of the extender and re-enter the IP address to check the connection status. If it says “connecting” or “not connected”, it means that the setting is unsuccessful, you can try to change the browser to setup.

7. WiFi passwords can not contain special characters, such as @, %, #, *, etc., and no more than 32 characters, if it does not meet this requirement, it is recommended that you change the host router’s WiFi password and then configure it.
