Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your range extender, consider the following:

Dead Zones: Ensure the extender is placed optimally between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Use the intelligent signal indicator in the Tether app to find the best spot.
Signal Strength: If the signal is weak, try relocating the extender closer to your main router. Four high-gain antennas and Beamforming technology are designed to maximize signal.
Internet Speed: Remember that range extenders improve coverage, not necessarily raw internet speed. While a more stable connection can feel faster, the actual speed is limited by your internet service provider's plan.
Connectivity Issues: Ensure your extender is properly connected to your router via WPS or the Tether app. Check for firmware updates through the app.
