Hi, I’ve set my extender up and it’s linked to my router. When using the WPS to connect the WPS light on the extender doesn’t illuminate, it flashes then goes out but I’m still connected to the internet. I need this for security. Any ideas?

    Hi Nebsy1210, when pressed, the WPS light will flash for about 2 minutes then it will go out. It is only used when connecting the extender to the main network or adding new devices to the extender. To check for the security settings of the extender, you can access the web UI by going to mywifiext.net or the assigned IP of the extender from the router.
