Setup Guide

There are two primary methods to set up your Cyseed WiFi Extender:

Method 1: WPS Button Setup (Recommended)

This is the simplest method if your main router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

1. Power On: Plug the Cyseed WiFi Extender into an electrical outlet near your main router. Wait for the power indicator light to turn solid.
2. Press WPS on Extender: Press the WPS button on the side or front of the Cyseed WiFi Extender. The WPS indicator light on the extender will start blinking.
3. Press WPS on Router: Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your main wireless router.
4. Connect: Wait for the WPS indicator light on the extender to turn solid, indicating a successful connection. The extender will now broadcast an extended Wi-Fi network with your existing network name followed by "_EXT" or "_Plus" (e.g., MyHomeWiFi_EXT).
5. Relocate: Unplug the extender and move it to a location halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Ensure the signal strength indicator on the extender shows a good signal from your main router.

Method 2: Web Browser Setup

Use this method if your router does not have a WPS button or if WPS setup fails.

1. Power On: Plug the Cyseed WiFi Extender into an electrical outlet near your main router. Wait for the power indicator light to turn solid.
2. Connect to Extender's Network: On your computer or smartphone, connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the extender (e.g., "WiFi-Repeater" or "Cyseed_Extender"). This network will not have internet access initially.
3. Access Setup Page: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and enter the default IP address or domain name (usually found on a sticker on the extender or in the quick start guide, common examples are 192.168.10.1 or repeater.net).
4. Log In: Enter the default username and password (usually "admin" for both).
5. Select Mode: Choose "Repeater Mode" or "AP Mode" based on your needs. For extending Wi-Fi, select Repeater Mode.
6. Scan for Networks: The extender will scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Select your main router's Wi-Fi network from the list.
7. Enter Password: Enter the Wi-Fi password (security key) for your main router's network.
8. Configure Extended Network (Optional): You can choose to keep the same SSID as your main network or create a new one (e.g., "MyHomeWiFi_EXT").
9. Apply Settings: Click "Apply" or "Save". The extender will restart.
10. Verify Connection: Once restarted, the extender's indicator lights should show a successful connection. You can now connect your devices to the extended network.
11. Relocate: Unplug the extender and move it to a location halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Ensure the signal strength indicator on the extender shows a good signal from your main router.

Operating Modes

The Cyseed WiFi Extender supports two main operating modes:

1. Repeater Mode (Default)

In Repeater Mode, the extender wirelessly connects to your existing router's Wi-Fi network and re-broadcasts it, extending the coverage area. This is ideal for eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones in your home.

2. Access Point (AP) Mode

In AP Mode, the extender connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and creates a new wireless network. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired network or creating a new Wi-Fi hotspot in a specific area.

• Connect an Ethernet cable from your main router (or a wired network port) to the Ethernet port on the Cyseed WiFi Extender.
• Follow the Web Browser Setup steps (Method 2) and select "AP Mode" during configuration.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Placement: Ensure the extender is placed in an open area, away from obstructions like large metal objects, thick walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Rebooting: If you experience connectivity issues, try unplugging the extender for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.

Troubleshooting

Q: The extender is not connecting to my router.

A:

• Ensure the extender is within range of your main router.
• Verify that you have entered the correct Wi-Fi password for your main router. Passwords are case-sensitive.
• If using WPS, ensure both the router and extender's WPS buttons are pressed within the 2-minute window.
• Try the Web Browser Setup method if WPS fails.
• Some routers may require specific settings (e.g., disabling MAC filtering) for the extender to connect. Consult your router's manual.

Q: My devices are connected to the extender, but there's no internet access.

A:

• Check if your main router has internet access.
• Relocate the extender closer to your main router to ensure it receives a strong signal.
• Reboot both your main router and the extender.
• Verify that the extender is successfully connected to your main router (check indicator lights).

Q: The extended Wi-Fi signal is weak or unstable.

A:

• Adjust the position of the extender. It should be placed halfway between your router and the area needing coverage, where it can still receive a strong signal from the router.
• Avoid placing the extender near large metal objects, concrete walls, microwave ovens, or cordless phones, as these can cause interference.
• Ensure the extender's antennas are properly oriented for optimal signal reception.

Q: I cannot access the web management page (192.168.10.1).

A:

• Ensure your device is connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "WiFi-Repeater") and not your main router's network.
• Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or use a different browser.
• Temporarily disable any VPN or firewall software on your computer.
• Reset the extender to factory defaults (refer to the "Resetting the Extender" section) and try again.

Resetting the Extender

If the extender is not functioning correctly, you may need to reset it to its factory default settings. This will erase all configured settings.

• With the extender powered on, use a paperclip or a thin pin to press and hold the Reset button (usually located in a small hole) for about 5-10 seconds until the indicator lights flash.
• Release the button and wait for the extender to restart. It will then be in its default state, and you will need to set it up again.
