A Wi-Fi extender is a device that helps extend the range of your Wi-Fi network, improving coverage in areas where the signal is weak or unavailable. It works by receiving the Wi-Fi signal from your router or mobile hotspot, amplifying it, and then transmitting the signal to cover a larger area.

Follow these steps to set up your Wi-Fi extender with an internet service:

• Plug in the Wi-Fi Extender:
  Plug the Wi-Fi extender into a power outlet midway between your router or mobile hotspot and the area where the signal is weak. Choose a location where the extender can still receive a strong signal from your router or hotspot.

• Connect the Wi-Fi Extender to Your Router/Hotspot:

  • Option 1: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):
    If your router/hotspot and Wi-Fi extender support WPS, press the WPS button on your router/hotspot, then press the WPS button on the extender within a few seconds. The devices will automatically connect.

  • Option 2: Manual Connection:
    If your router or extender doesn’t support WPS, manually enter the SSID and Wi-Fi password of your router or hotspot into the extender’s settings to establish the connection.

• Test the Signal:
  Once the Wi-Fi extender is connected, move to the area where the signal was previously weak or unavailable. Check the Wi-Fi signal strength.
  If needed, adjust the position of the Wi-Fi extender to ensure optimal coverage.

After setting up, check the signal strength in the areas that previously had weak or no Wi-Fi. If you notice an improvement in connectivity, the extender is working properly.
Some extenders have indicator lights that show the strength of the connection between the extender and your router/hotspot. A solid or blinking light usually indicates a successful connection.

Make sure both the Wi-Fi extender and router/hotspot are powered on and functioning properly.
If using WPS, ensure you’re pressing the WPS button on both devices within a few seconds. If manual connection is needed, double-check the Wi-Fi credentials entered into the extender.
If the issue persists, try rebooting both the extender and router/hotspot, then attempt the connection process again.

Yes, a Wi-Fi extender should work with any home broadband router or mobile hotspot, as long as they are providing a Wi-Fi signal. Make sure the extender is compatible with the router/hotspot in terms of Wi-Fi standards.

The ideal location is halfway between your router/hotspot and the area that needs better coverage. Avoid placing the extender too far from the router, as it needs a strong signal to amplify and extend it effectively.
