Confirm your device is on the extender network — not your router or cellular data.
Try direct IP: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in your browser.
Clear browser cache and cookies, or open an incognito/private window.

Factory reset the extender and restart setup from scratch.
The LED shows red or amber instead of solid green, indicating a connection problem.

Factory reset and re-run the setup wizard from the beginning.
Devices on the extended network get much slower speeds than directly on the router.

Connect to the 5 GHz extended band if your extender is dual-band.
Update extender firmware — updates often include performance improvements.
Change the extender's WiFi channel to avoid overlap with neighbouring networks.
Unable to log in to the extender's admin panel.
Try factory defaults: admin/admin, admin/password, or admin/1234.
Check the label on the bottom of the extender for a unique default password.
If defaults fail, perform a factory reset (hold Reset 10 seconds) and start fresh.
After reset, set a memorable strong password and record it somewhere safe.
The extender's broadcast network doesn't appear in available WiFi networks.
Confirm the extender is powered on — check the power LED is lit solid.

Restart the extender by unplugging for 30 seconds, then replugging.
Check if SSID broadcast is disabled in settings — log in via Ethernet to check.
The extended network drops intermittently, causing devices to lose internet connection.
Check the extender's signal LED — if it fluctuates, move extender closer to router.
Update extender firmware — unstable connections are often fixed in updates.
Check for overheating — ensure the extender has adequate ventilation.
