4.3. Connecting via Web Browser (Alternative Method)

1. Plug the WiFi Extender into an electrical outlet near your main router.
2. On your computer or mobile device, connect to the extender's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "WiFi-Repeater" or similar, usually found on a label on the device). No password is required for the initial connection.
3. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (e.g., 192.168.188.1) or the web address provided in the quick guide (e.g., wdlogin.com).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a login password for the extender.
5. Select "Repeater Mode" and choose your main Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list.
6. Enter the password for your main Wi-Fi network.
7. Confirm the settings and wait for the extender to reboot. The indicator lights should turn solid green upon successful setup.

4.4. Optimal Placement Guidelines

For best performance, place the extender halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Ensure the location is within the range of your router's signal. The signal indicator lights on the extender will help you find the ideal spot:

• Solid Green: Good signal strength.
• Solid Red: Too far from the router, move closer.
• Off: No signal, move closer to the router.

The GEYILO WiFi Extender supports three operating modes:

• Router Mode: Functions as a primary router, creating a new private network.

6. Troubleshooting

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

• No Power: Ensure the extender is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• No Signal/Weak Signal:
  • Relocate the extender closer to your main router.
  • Check the signal indicator lights for optimal placement.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (thick walls, metal objects) between the extender and the router.
• Cannot Connect to Extender's Wi-Fi:
  • Verify you are selecting the correct extended network name (usually your original Wi-Fi name with "_EXT" or similar suffix).
  • Ensure you are entering the correct password for your main Wi-Fi network during setup.
• Forgotten Extender Login Password: Perform a factory reset (see below).
• Factory Reset: With the extender powered on, use a pin to press and hold the Reset button (usually a small hole) for about 5-10 seconds until all lights flash. The extender will revert to factory default settings, and you will need to set it up again.
