How to Connect WiFi Range Extender with WPS Method

There are multiple ways to connect a WiFi Range Extender with your broadband router to increase wireless coverage in your home or office. By adding an extender, you can access the internet in every corner of your place without weak signals. The three most common methods are:
WPS Method
Manual Configuration
Ethernet Cable Setup
WPS Method (Quick Setup)
This is the easiest and fastest way to connect a WiFi extender with your router. Anyone can do it without technical help, as it only takes a few minutes. However, you must ensure that your router and extender support the WPS function (some older devices with WEP security may not).
Step-by-Step Process:
Find the WPS Button – Almost every extender has a dedicated WPS button, usually located on the side panel.
Power Up the Extender – Plug in the device and wait until the LED indicator turns stable (usually green or solid).
Press WPS Buttons – First press the WPS button on your router, and then press the WPS button on the extender within 2 minutes.
Automatic Connection – Within seconds, the extender will connect to your router automatically.
Access the Setup Page – If the configuration page does not open automatically, you can enter the setup URL manually in your browser and log in using the default username and password (e.g., admin/admin).
After login, you will see the default extended network name (SSID). You can rename this SSID in the settings if you want to personalize your WiFi network.

Introduction to Extender Setup Page

The extender setup page is a local web address (URL) used to set up and manage WiFi range extenders. When you connect an extender to your device (via Ethernet or WiFi) and open a web browser, entering the setup link (such as extender setup portal) allows you to access the configuration interface.
This setup portal is essential for:
Configuring the extender with your existing router.
Improving overall WiFi coverage in your home or office.
Managing settings like SSID, password, and security features.
Whether you are connecting the extender for the first time or adjusting its settings later, accessing the setup page ensures that your extender works properly and provides seamless internet connectivity across all areas.

New Extender Setup Guide

Setting up a new WiFi range extender is simple if you follow the right steps. Below is a step-by-step guide to get your extender up and running:

 Plug in the Extender

Place the extender in the same room as your WiFi router during initial setup.
Plug it into a power outlet and wait until the power LED turns stable.

Connect to the Extender

On your computer, laptop, or mobile device, go to WiFi settings.
Connect to the network name (SSID) of your extender (it usually appears as “Extender_Setup” or similar).

3. Access the Setup Portal

Open a web browser.
In the address bar, type the extender’s default web address (like extender setup portal).
The setup page will open, asking you to log in or create an account.

Configure Your Extender

Choose your existing WiFi network from the list.
Enter your WiFi password when prompted.
Set a new extender name (SSID) and password, or keep the default settings.

Reconnect Devices

After the extender reboots, reconnect your devices to the new extended WiFi network.
Test the connection in areas where your WiFi was weak before.

Optimal Placement

Once setup is complete, move the extender to a location halfway between your router and the weak-signal area.
Make sure it is still within the range of your main WiFi network.

How to Connect Your Range Extender to a Hidden SSID

Sometimes you may need to connect your WiFi range extender to a hidden SSID (a network that doesn’t broadcast its name). A hidden SSID adds a layer of security, but setting it up with your extender requires manual configuration. If you’re facing confusion about how to do it, don’t worry — this guide will walk you through the step-by-step process.

Step 1: Power on Your Range Extender

Plug your range extender into a power outlet.

Wait for the power LED to turn stable.

Step 2: Connect Your Device to the Extender

Use a laptop, PC, or smartphone.

Connect to the extender’s default WiFi network or use an Ethernet cable for stability.

Step 3: Open the Setup Page

Launch a web browser and enter the extender’s setup URL (for example, default extender setup page).

Login with your default credentials (usually mentioned on the product label).

Step 4: Choose Manual Setup

On the setup dashboard, select the WiFi Range Extender Setup option.

When prompted to connect to a WiFi network, look for the “Enter SSID Manually” option.

Step 5: Enter Hidden SSID Details

Type the exact SSID (network name) of your hidden WiFi.

Select the security type (WPA/WPA2, etc.) and enter the correct WiFi password.

Double-check the details, as incorrect input will prevent the connection.

Step 6: Apply Settings and Connect

Click Next/Apply to save the settings.

Your range extender will now attempt to connect to the hidden SSID.

Once connected, the extender LEDs will confirm a successful link.

Step 7: Test the Connection

Reconnect your device to the extender’s WiFi.

Check internet access and ensure strong signal strength in the previously weak areas.

  • Connect to the network name shown for your extender (usually something like EXT or Setup).

Step 3: Open Setup Page

  • Launch a browser and type the setup web address (shown in the extender manual).
  • If the page does not load, you can also try the default IP (commonly 192.168.1.250).

Step 4: Follow On-Screen Instructions

  • Choose your existing WiFi network and enter its password.
  • The extender will now connect and expand your coverage.

Troubleshooting if Setup Page Doesn’t Open

  1. Clear Browser Cache – delete cookies, history, and cache.
  2. Use a Different Browser – sometimes Chrome/Edge works better.
  3. Connect via Ethernet – use a cable directly between computer and extender.
  4. Check Network – make sure you are connected to the extender’s WiFi, not the router.
  5. Reset the Extender – press and hold the reset button for about 15 seconds until the LED blinks, then try setup again.
