I bought the RE300 wifi extender months ago to get a better signal to my Ring Floodlight camera on my garage. I has worked fine for months until the other day when I started to have issues with the Ring camera. The signal was becoming very weak and the extender has never changed location, which is in my garage. After spending a lot of time trying to get it logged on again with a better signal, I decided to do a factory reset. I used Tether to try to get everything set up, but I said it couldn't ever make contact with the Main Connection to wifi. Then I used the WPS method on my router and was able to see the EXT wifi links. 2.4 and 5g, on my phone. However, when I put in my wifi password, it states it id INCORRECT! I checked the spelling multiple times. Please help!!

  @Tact Most of the time the instructions say to start with the extender placed nearby the router or Access point.  You'll probably have to reset if again, try moving it nearby, then reestablish the connection, making sure to enter the password correctly into the extender settings.  Then move it back.  Please note atmospheric conditions such as rain/snow can make the signal weaker.

  @Tact Yes....It was beside th router everytime I try to get it set up. Semms like I'v done this 10x and no success. I guess I'll just buy another extender. It shouldn't be this difficult.

  @Tact Is there an indicator if the extender is placed too far?  Also do you think it may have been too hot or too cold and caused some damage?

 

Sounds like you know what you're doing and maybe does need replacing...
