Setting up a router and extender ensures seamless internet connectivity throughout your home or office. Follow these steps to properly configure your devices.

Part 1: Setting Up the Router
Unbox Your Router

Unpack your router and check for all necessary components: router unit, power adapter, Ethernet cable, and user manual.

Connect the Router to Power

Plug the router into a power outlet using the provided adapter.
Turn it on and wait for the LED indicators to stabilize.

Connect to Your Modem

Use the Ethernet cable to connect the modem to the WAN (Internet) port on the router.
Make sure the modem is powered on.

Access the Router’s Configuration Page

Connect to the router’s Wi-Fi (default network name and password are on the router’s label) or use an Ethernet cable for a wired connection.

Open a web browser and enter the router’s default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
Log in using the default username and password (usually "admin" for both, check the manual).

Set Up Your Wi-Fi Network

Go to the wireless settings section.
Change the SSID (Wi-Fi network name) and create a strong password.
Save your settings and restart the router if prompted.

Test Your Internet Connection

Connect a device to your Wi-Fi network and check if the internet is working.
Part 2: Setting Up the Extender
Unbox Your Extender

Unpack the extender and verify you have the device, power adapter, and user manual.
Place the Extender

Plug the extender into a power outlet halfway between your router and the area with poor Wi-Fi coverage.

Power On the Extender

Turn on the extender and wait for the power light to stabilize.

Connect to the Extender’s Wi-Fi

On your smartphone or computer, look for the extender’s default Wi-Fi network (name and password are on the extender’s label).
Access the Extender’s Configuration Page

Open a web browser and enter the extender’s default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
Log in using the default username and password (check the manual for details).

Connect the Extender to the Router

Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the extender to your router’s Wi-Fi network.
Enter your router’s SSID and password when prompted.

Test the Connection

Move to the area where you need extended coverage and connect your devices to the extender’s network.
Test the connection speed to ensure proper functionality.
Part 3: Tips for Optimal Performance
Positioning

Place the router in a central location and keep it elevated for better signal distribution.
Avoid placing the extender near walls, metal objects, or electronic devices that can cause interference.

Firmware Updates

Regularly update the firmware of both your router and extender to ensure optimal performance and security.

Secure Your Network

Use strong, unique passwords for both the router and extender.
Enable WPA3 or WPA2 encryption in your Wi-Fi security settings.

Test Coverage

Use apps like Wi-Fi Analyzer to check signal strength and make adjustments to your router and extender placement as needed.

By following these steps, you can easily set up your router and extender to achieve a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection throughout your space. If you encounter any issues, refer to the user manuals or contact technical support for assistance.
