6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / LED Indicator | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Internet connection after setup. | LED indicator is solid red or blinking red slowly. | Relocate the extender closer to your router. Ensure the extender is within the WiFi range of your router. If the LED indicator still does not turn solid on, reset it to default factory settings and set it up again. |
| Slow speeds on extended network. | LED indicator is solid yellow (fair signal). | Move the extender closer to your router to achieve a solid blue LED indicator (strong signal). Ensure there are no major obstructions between the router and extender. |
| Cannot access the web management page. | Device not connected to extender's network or incorrect URL. | Ensure your device is connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "BrosTrend_EXT"). Verify you are entering http://brostrendwifi.com correctly in the browser's address bar. Try a different browser. |
| WPS setup failed. | WPS timeout or incompatibility. | Ensure you press the WPS button on both the router and extender within 2 minutes. If it continues to fail, try the Web UI setup method. |
