I cannot find my existing Wi-Fi network in the installation wizard of the repeater, Why?

It is very likely that your repeater is too far from your modem/router. We recommend configuring your repeater in the same room as your modem/router and then changing its location to a different room.

WARNING: Please note that on your repeater if the network LED is lit in red or blinks in red, the signal of the Wi-Fi host is too low.

I configured my repeater as an extender, but my broadband internet speed has not improved. Why?

Repeaters can improve the Wi-Fi coverage, performance and connectivity locally but the broadband Internet speed is defined by your subscription of your Internet Service Provider.

What are the new Wi-Fi Networks information after the configuration?

Once the configuration is finished, you will see the following screen:

The names of the new Wi-Fi networks are written. Please write them down. The default passwords of the two Wi-Fi networks of the repeater are identical to the password of host Wi-Fi network you selected during the configuration.

What is the best location for my repeater?

Your repeater should not only be near to your modem/router, but also to a Wi-Fi dead zone. By doing so, your repeater will pick up the signal from the modem/router and repeat it to extend the coverage of your Wi-Fi Network.

Where can I find the Wi-Fi Network Information of my repeater?

You can find the information for the Wi-Fi Network on the product label, located under your repeater.

WARNING: Please note that the Network Name and Password of your repeater will change after the configuration. We strongly encourage you to write down the new information and tape it next to your repeater.

Which Wi-Fi frequencies (bands) does the repeater provide?

The repeater is dual-band which means that it uses the 2.4G and 5G bands. In other words, after the configuration, the repeater will create two Wi-Fi networks.
