Two
button setup
The
easiest method to setup the extender is the WPS method. The condition is your
router and extender both must have the WPS button. Press the WPS button of the
extender and the router simultaneously, the connection established between the
router and the extender within few seconds.
What
matters for the maximum extender range?
1. To have the maximum
range expansion, make sure that the frequency should be same for both the Wi-Fi
and the extender. It means if your extender is working on 2.4 GHz band then the
Wi-Fi is also set to 2.4 GHz and same is for 5 GHz band.
2. The position of the
extender matters. To find the best place for the extender, try changing the
position and check the signal strength indicator. The place where it turns
solid, that is the best position to place your router.
To
change the settings of the extender, log in to the extender.
Follow
the steps mentioned below to log in after the initial setup:
- Connect a device (computer or mobile) to the network of the extender.
- Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
- You will see a login screen with two fields that are username and password.
- The default username is admin and password is password.
- Enter the default credentials in the respective fields and press enter.
