How do I connect the Wi-Fi range extender?

3. Connecting the Wi-Fi range extender – Before you launch the extender’s app, just go into the Wi-Fi Settings panel on your smartphone or tablet. Our normal router is called 0606 Hyperoptic, and you can see that it transmits Wi-Fi on both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands.

How does a range extender work?

5. Merging the Wi-Fi – The app now asks you to enter the password for your router’s 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. This allows the range extender to connect its own 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal to the 2.4GHz signal of our main router. You’ll also need to repeat the process for the 5GHz band as well.

Is a Wi-Fi extender worth it?

Can I Use a Router as a Wi-Fi Extender? – Most modern routers and modem-router hybrids support Wi-Fi extension capabilities. Many older routers can also be used this way though it’s recommended they support at least the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard. A router with older Wi-Fi tech may work but it likely won’t provide the speeds or stability you require.

Some routers, such as the Asus AiMesh line of products, feature extra support for Wi-Fi extending with their own mesh networking system,
A wide range of Wi-Fi extenders are also available from a number of manufacturers and retailers.
These dedicated devices can often be cheaper and a lot easier to set up than other Wi-Fi boosting or extending strategies.

FAQ

How do I use a Linksys router as a Wi-Fi extender? You’ll need a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router that supports Wireless Repeater mode. Make sure you have your main router’s wireless settings, then enter the default Linksys router web address http://192.168.1.1 (or a new address if you modified this) into your browser and log in to your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router. Select Connectivity > Internet Settings > Edit > Wireless Repeater and enter the main router’s details.
Do Wi-Fi extenders work well? A Wi-Fi extender can be an effective and useful way to shore up a spotty internet connection by expanding your wireless network’s range, but there are some caveats. Your internet speed, Wi-Fi needs, router location, and more all have an impact on a Wi-Fi extender’s effectiveness. Since the extender uses the same frequency band as the main router, be aware that you may experience an internet speed reduction.
Will a Wi-Fi extender make my Wi-Fi signal faster? A Wi-Fi extender connected via a wired connection will provide a strong, dedicated connection, particularly if you have a high-speed internet plan. It’s important to use a dual-band Wi-Fi extender to maximize your speed. Using an older, single-band extender may actually drag down your overall internet speed as the device works to provide a signal to a wide swath of area.

Yes. The range extender works with almost any Wi-Fi router. But it may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, or is non-standard or outdated.

Q2. I have two range extenders, how can I connect them to my home network?

Generally we suggest connecting all the extenders to the router for better performance. You can also connect one extender to another extender which already gets connected to your router, however we don’t recommend adding more than two extenders to one single link chain in consideration of the Wi-Fi quality.

Try rescanning networks, and double-check the list of scanned networks.
Go to the wireless settings of your smartphone or laptop and make sure it can find your home network.
Move the extender closer to your home router, preferably within 16 feet, then try again.
If you use a dual-band extender but your router supports only the 2.4 GHz band, skip the 5 GHz band.
Reboot the router and extender, then try again.
Check the channel settings of your router’s 5 GHz network. If it is set to auto or a DFS channel (52-64 or 100-140), 5 GHz connection may be unstable. In this case, change it to a band1 channel (36-48) or band4 channel (149-165), then try again. For channel settings, refer to your router’s user manual.
