Requirement for internet connectivity at every single place from terrace to basement is of utmost importance. As each task from work, research to online payments depends on the internet. A wifi dead zone can be extremely frustrating and can create a ruckus with the overall productivity. This is exactly where the Wavlink extender setup can help you out. The extender works together with the router to create an environment where there are no connectivity issues like that of dead zones, slow speeds, lag and buffering or sudden connection drop. But to pull out all such benefits you need to learn about the accurate setup steps. So this particular post is all about that and without any further stalling, let's get to the points one by one. 

Needs For Wavlink Extender Setup 

Do you wish to complete the setup process within a few minutes and that too smoothly? If yes, then you must pre-collect all the setup components. Here's what you need:

• A router and also its wireless details.

• An Ethernet cable (optional).

• A vacant and well-working electrical switchboard for supplying an adequate amount of electricity to the Wavlink extender. 

• After that, a smart device for configuration.

• Finally, all the components that came into the purchased package. 

Starting Installation 

The Wavlink extender setup process is quite easy. These are the exact steps:

• Bring the Wavlink range extender to an area which you consider the mid point of the router and the area where you require extended wifi coverage. 

• Now using the power unit, power on the device. The device will take time to boot up properly, so meanwhile you just need to wait. 

• As you see the steady indicator, take your smart device. Pair it with the Wavlink extender. For wireless pairing use the information which is written on the base/back of the Wavlink device. Whereas for a more stable pairing, use ethernet wire.

• Afterwards, on the linked device only, open google chrome or any other well-working browser of your choice. 

• Move to the URL blank. Into it type,  www.wavlink.com . Click Enter. If the web address does not work then use the alternative. It is 192.168.10.1. 

• You now have access to the login portal. So fill in the details. It is admin for both blanks. After selecting the language click on Login. 

• Finally, finish the Wavlink extender setup process by adhering to the instructions that pop up on the screen. You'll be prompted to select the identity of your router's network and then give in the password. 

Setup Using WPS Button 

Want a more simplified approach towards Wavlink extender setup? If yes, then you can pair the devices using the WPS button and then enjoy uninterrupted wider wifi coverage throughout your abode. The exact steps for it are:

• First place the wifi signal repeater in the area as your router.

• Now activate the device. Wait for the indicator to turn steady.

• Look for the WPS button on your router. As you find it, press it down. The WPS light must flutter. 

• Then, find out the WPS button on the signal repeater. Once detected, click it. There shouldn't be a gap of more than 120 seconds between both the above steps. 

• Now just let the lights turn steady. As it indicates a successful pairing of both devices.

• Finally, wrap up the Wavlink extender setup by relocating the signal repeater to an area where you are facing connectivity problems. Make sure the chosen spot receives at least 50 percent of signals from the router. Because communication between the extender and router is essential for seamless extension. 

Troubleshooting Common Issues 

No matter how good the networking device is, you may still come across certain problems. 

First up, if the Wavlink extender setup was working fine but suddenly you see a drop in the performance, then it could be because of the pending firmware updates. So login into the interface. For this load  www.wavlink.com   into the URL blank of the browser. Then scroll to the firmware upgrade section. Scan for updates. If available, run an installation process then and there. 

This will solve all the connectivity issues as well as protect the network from security issues.

Next up, if the signals aren't appropriate and they keep dropping then it could potentially be because of incorrect placement of the extender. If you plot the extender in any box, behind curtains, in between walls or near to electrical and metal items then surely the signal transmission won't be proper. So always keep it in an open space, away from obstructions and also on an elevated surface like a table top. 

Moving further, a minor glitch can easily be solved using the rebooting process. Whereas if the issue is too complex and nothing is solving it then you have to take a recourse to factory resetting. But remember reset should always be the last option. 

Sometimes, the loose wiring and inadequate supply of electricity can also create a ruckus. So recheck the same. If the problems still persist then you can consider taking help from the professional experts via phone, live chat or through email support.
