Thanks for contacting us.

May I know what is the LED satus on your extender? Is it your first time to install it or extender just stops working?

You can try to reconfigure it. For the configuration of range extender, the wireless password is the key parameter. The range extender needs the correct wi-fi password to connect to your main wifi. If you are not sure about the wifi password of the main router, please refer to the FAQ below to check it via the existing wireless connection on your windows or mac computer:

After the wifi password is confirmed, please follow the steps to re-configure the range extender.
1.Reset it to prepare the setup:

Note: Most LEDs should flash once when you reset it.
2.Re-configure it via Tether app:

If the above suggestions can't help you out, please share us with more details for the failure of the configuration, such as what's the prompt message when the configuration finished, the status of the LEDs in the device.
