Frequently Asked Questions
What will my new extended WiFi network name be?
The new network name will be based on your existing WiFi name, with '_EXT' added at the end.
How do I ensure the extender reaches a poor signal area?
Check the Client Link LED. Solid green means coverage is reached; if it’s red, move closer to the extender until the indicator turns solid green.
What signal type does WPS not support?
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) does not support WEP network security.
I can't load the web browser setup page. What should I check?
Make sure your computer is set up to use DHCP and that the Device Link LED is green. If necessary, relaunch the browser and type www.mywifiext.net.
