Note: Range extender will copy the Wi-Fi SSID of your host network when using WPS button, therefore the default ‘TP-Link Extender XXX’ SSID will disappear after the connection is established. You could determine if the extender has connected to the Wi-Fi router successfully by its LED status as described in Part 3

 

 

Part 2. Tips for Making a Successful Installation

1. Ensure the correct Wi-Fi password is put in when setting up your range extender. 

  • How to Verify Router Wi-Fi password? 
    •  Forget router Wi-Fi on your mobile phone and manually input the Wi-Fi password to verify the router’s Wi-Fi password is correct. (Phone Settings > Wi-Fi > tap router's Wi-Fi SSID to forget network or Long press the network to delete the Wi-Fi profile).
    • Or check the Wi-Fi password on the router Wireless Settings page.

 

2. Factory Reset Your Extender Before Reinstallation 

  • RESET: With the extender powered on, use a pin to press the RESET button (pinhole) until all the LEDs flash once.
