My Wifi extender will only work when it’s next to the router, when I try moving it to the area that needs a boost, the only lights that will come on are the power and wps button. i’ve done a factory r...
Hi,
The mywifiext.net does only work if the computer or mobile is connected to the extender wireless. The non-mesh extenders add these _EXT resp. _2GEXT and _5GEXT to the primary router network name. Following a factory reset, you find the default network name and security key printed on the extender product label.
Following a factory reset, it might be better to follow the alternate set-up method by connecting to the default extender network, and then use the mywifiext.net URL and run the set-up in a Web browser.
For better assistance, please provide at least some insight which extender model we're facing here.
