Q3: What should I do if the extender can not be connected successfully to the router?
A1. Check the Signal LED. Blue light refers to A2. Red light refers to A3. No light refers to A4.
A2. The blue light shows the extender has been connected to the router successfully and within the router’s Wi-Fi coverage. If the network is working normally on other devices by connecting to the router’s Wi-Fi, you might have overloaded the router by connecting too many devices. Disconnect some of the devices and ensure the Wi-Fi extender’s priority connection to the router. If your extender still fails to connect, refer to A5.
A3. A red light indicates the need to change your extender’s location until the light turns blue. The light is always red no matter how you re-locate it? Make sure there are no metal objectives, closed doors or electromagnetic waves that could interfere with the signal transmission. If your extender still fails to connect, refer to A5.
A4. If the signal LED is off, it shows there is no connection between the extender and the router. Make sure you have not turned off or hidden the router’s Wi-Fi signal. Also make sure you have not initiated encryption mode, MAC filter, and Blacklist of the router. Don’t know how to manage your router? Reset your router to its factory settings or contact your network provider. If your extender still fails to connect, refer to A5.
A5. Reset both your extender and router to clear their cache and then undertake all the connection and checking procedures again.` Reset and re- start’ is one of the ultimate diagnostic actions you can perform at any time. If you still have a problem, contact us for FREE 24/7 technical support and describe your problem including router model no., extender model no., and the solutions you have tried and failed.
