4.3 App Installation and Configuration

The XIAOMI WiFi Range Extender is configured using the Mi Home app. This app allows you to manage the device settings and monitor its status.

• Optimal Placement: Periodically check the extender's placement to ensure it is still in an optimal position for signal strength.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WiFi Range Extender, try the following solutions:

• No Signal or Weak Signal:
  • Ensure the extender is plugged into a working power outlet.
  • Relocate the extender closer to your main router.
  • Check for physical obstructions or interference sources.
  • Verify that your main router's Wi-Fi is active and broadcasting.
• Connection Issues:
  • Confirm that the correct Wi-Fi password was entered during setup.
  • Restart both the extender and your main router.
  • If the LED is flashing yellow, the extender may have lost connection to the main router. Reconfigure using the Mi Home app.

  • Reduce the number of devices connected to the extended network.
  • Check for firmware updates via the Mi Home app.
