    After the extension:
    There are two ways to deal with this problem·
    Method 1: 
  • 1. First, make sure that you have connected to the correct signal of the repeater. If the SSID of the repeater is the same as the superior signal (the router signal), you have to confirm you are connected to the signal of the repeater.
  • After connecting to the repeater wireless signal, please confirm the IP of the repeater signal is assigned by the superior router.
  • Then log in by this domain name: re. rock space. local.
  • If failed, please cut off the power supply and re-connect the power supply. Then you log in by the domain name after the repeater is extended automatically.
  • If the last step above doesn’t work, please change to a laptop or a mobile phone to log in.
    Method 2:
  • First, make sure you have connected to the WiFi signal(no matter the router’s or extender’s) , and then login the interface of the router;
  • Open the Client List of the router interface to view connected devices. After finding the mac address {that is attached to the product stick)of the repeater, you can get the IP address of the extender assigned by the router.
  • Open a browser, enter the IP address in the address bar.and then you can enter the interface.
• Q6: I can find someone else ‘s wifi signal, but I can’t find mine.
  A6:  You need to check the signal strength that your mobile advice can get in the same place.{Maybe the signal in this place is poor)
  • You should check if the encryption of the superior router is WEP. Only no encryption, WPA, WPA2 and mixed mode can be supported by this repeater.
  • Whether the superior signal is hidden; (You can check this by your mobile advice)
• Q7: Always prompt for fallure when extending,
  A7: 1. Check the indicator is blue/red/not bright(if the indicator not bright, it means a failed matching).
  1. Set the SSID of the router and repeater to numbers and letters combination; (ID Move the repeater closer to the router;
  2. Confirm the encryption mode of the superior signal is not WEP.(Only no
     encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or their mixed mode can be supported by our repeater)
  3. Confirm the superior signal is not turned off or hidden.
  4. Login the interface of the router to check if restrictions are made, such as MAC filter, and Blacklist.

  • Please check if the SSID of the repeater contains special characters or Chinese,we command you can set the SSID to alphanumerlc comblnatlon.
• Q13: The network Is not available after extension.
  A13:Check if the indicator turns no light;
  • If the indicator is red, but no network. To see if the superior signal strength is too low by repeater interface.(We recommend the repeater should be placed somewhere between 40%-50% of the slgnal strength.)
    Check If the IP that connected to the devices Is assigned by router.
• Q14: The network is slow after extension.
  A14:View the color of the indicator.
  1. Solid blue: The signal strength received by repeater is above -60db.
  2. Solid red: The signal strength received by repeater is above -61 db-74db. (The signal is a little bit week. It is recommend to move the repeater a little closer, and the repeater antenna is parallel to the router.)
  3. No light: The signal strength received by repeater Is below -74db. {The signal Is week. It Is recommend to move the repeater closer, and the repeater antenna Is parallel to the router. )
     • Under general situation, when the signal strength that received by repeater is between 40% and 79% {While the interface shows a signal with 2 bars), the repeater works best at this time.
     • Check the network speed when your device connect the router directly at that position.
     • a. When the network speed between the router and repeater is the same, it means the connection is fine.(Vou can check the router.)
