Hope someone can help. I purchased this range Extender to be able to set up my new smart tv. It worked for a few hours! I am following all of the instructions to re-set it up. I keep getting server...
Hi i am trying to set this up on my iPad. I can join the WiFi for the extender. I log onto mywiifiext.net. I go through the process of setting up and enter passwords where needed. I get to the end of the process and for some reason the WiFi goes back to my original WiFi rather than the extender. The message comes up either that I cannot connect to the internet or that the server has stopped working
Are you setting the ssid the same for the extender as the router?
What firmware is on the extender?
do you have a device you can hardwire into the extender for setup?
- Hi I am setting the SSID the same . I am using the same password for both the extender and router. I do have an Ethernet cable I can use. Would it be worth trying to set up my laptop rather than iPad.
Sorry if I sound a bit dim. I am on a computer all day but this side of things I struggle with.
What is the firmware?When you're changing the extenders ssid to the same as your router, maybe your phone is defaulting back to the router while the extender changes over.
Try the setup via the ethernet cable on your laptop. it usually tends to go smoother.
- Thank you. Will this only need to be done once ?
