These are the basic and simple steps that will make your range extender work. But if it doesn’t work again, this you must try some more tricks in order to make your Extender work. The other troubleshooting tricks are as follows:
If the extender doesn’t work by the above procedures, then try changing the “Encryption type” of your home router/ modem. You should change it in such a way that the security on the router is lowered, for e.g., if your router has WPA-TKIP, then change it to WPA-AES. Then try the same above procedures again to make your range extender work. If the problem still exists, then keep on trying for other encryption types like WPA, WEP or no security as well making sure that both home router/modem and extender have the same encryption type. Don’t worry if your connection is disturbed or the laptops do not detect SSID of router, this is just the for temporary setup installation. You have to change the encryption type to its original after once the range extender has successfully connected to your router.
Try working on other simple routers like D-link with or without encryption.
Try to connect to the router after you factory reset the router/modem, but I think it won’t be necessary if you properly follow above procedures.
So trying these steps your extender should work properly. Anyways, if you think I can help you more and want to contact me then here is my email: info@newmyext.com . Please keep in mind that we are not support representative from wifi setup, We’re online technical support service.
