4.1. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Method
This is the easiest and recommended method for initial setup.

- Power On: Plug the WiFi extender into an electrical outlet near your existing router. Wait for the power indicator light to turn on.
- Press Extender's WPS: Press the WPS button on the side of your AOOEPU WiFi Extender. The WPS indicator light on the extender will start blinking.
- Press Router's WPS: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your main WiFi router.
- Wait for Pairing: The extender and router will automatically pair. This process may take a few seconds. Once successfully paired, the signal indicator lights on the extender will turn solid, indicating a strong connection.
- Relocate (Optional): After successful pairing, you can unplug the extender and move it to a location between your router and the WiFi dead zone. Ensure the signal indicator lights remain solid to confirm good signal strength from the router.
Note: If your router does not have a WPS button or if the WPS method fails, please refer to the Quick Start Guide for manual setup instructions via a web browser.
5. Operating Modes
The AOOEPU WiFi Extender supports three primary operating modes to suit various network requirements:

5.1. Repeater Mode (Default)
In Repeater Mode, the extender wirelessly connects to your existing router and amplifies its signal to extend WiFi coverage to areas with weak or no signal. This is the most common mode for eliminating dead zones.
5.2. AP (Access Point) Mode
In AP Mode, the extender connects to your wired network (e.g., via an Ethernet cable from your router) and transforms the wired connection into a wireless access point. This is useful for creating a new WiFi network in a specific area.
5.3. Router Mode
In Router Mode, the extender acts as a primary router, connecting directly to your modem and creating a new private wireless network. This mode is suitable for small homes or apartments where a dedicated router is not available.
6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your AOOEPU WiFi Extender, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Placement: Position the extender in an open area, away from obstructions like large metal objects, concrete walls, and other electronic devices that may cause interference.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation holes are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance and security.
- Power Cycle: If you experience minor connectivity issues, try power cycling the extender by unplugging it from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WiFi extender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No internet access after setup. | Incorrect setup, weak signal from router, IP address conflict. | Verify setup steps. Relocate extender closer to router. Restart both extender and router. Check router settings for IP conflicts. |
| Slow internet speed. | Poor extender placement, interference, too many connected devices. | Move extender to an optimal location (halfway between router and dead zone). Reduce interference from other electronics. Limit number of connected devices or upgrade internet plan. |
| Extender frequently disconnects. | Unstable signal from router, firmware issue, power fluctuations. | Ensure router signal is stable. Update extender firmware. Use a stable power source. |
| WPS pairing fails. | Timing issue, router WPS disabled, incompatible router. | Ensure WPS buttons are pressed within the time limit. Check router settings to enable WPS. Try manual setup via web interface. |
| Cannot access extender's web management page. | Incorrect IP address, network configuration issue. | Ensure your device is connected to the extender's network. Use the correct default IP address or domain name (refer to Quick Start Guide). Clear browser cache. |
