How to troubleshoot the Hyfi extender cannot log on to the admin interface

solution to the Hyfi Extender can not log into the management interface method

Hyfi Extender does not log on to the admin interface? With user feedback Hyfi router and extender registration succeeds, the default IP address of the Extender is used 192.168.1.254 cannot log on to the Admin interface (Setup interface).

This is because the Hyfi router automatically assigns the administrator IP address to the extender after the Hyfi router and the Extender are registered successfully, and therefore the management IP address of the Extender after the Hyfi router and extender registration is successful, May not be 192.168.1.254, so using the default 192.168.1.254 cannot log in to the admin interface.

Correct logon method: After the Hyfi router and extender registration succeeds, log on to the Hyfi router management interface--> and then in the Extender list, view the administrator address of the Extender, as shown in the following figure. (If you have more than one extender, you need to differentiate it by a MAC address.)

Then directly click on the IP address can be logged into the Extender management interface, or in the browser address bar input to see the IP address, this example is: 192.168.1.252.

Pay attention to the problem

If you log on to the Hyfi router management interface, in the Extender list, there is no extender information, which means that registering between the Hyfi router and the Hyfi extender may not be successful. Alternatively, you can use the Extender's LEDs to determine if the Extender's LEDs are always on, indicating that the registration was successful, or if the LED is slow flashing, the registration failed.

First, Hyfi router and extender proper registration steps

1, the Hyfi router and extender are plugged into the power outlet, wait 12 seconds, the router's led slowly flashing 2 times to illuminated steady; The extender led stays slow and you can start registering now.

Plug the Hyfi router and extender into the socket

2, click on the Hyfi Router config button, the LED changed to Flash.

Press the config key on the Hyfi router

3, two minutes and then click the Hyfi Extender Config button, the LED becomes Flash state.

Press the config key on the Hyfi extender within 2 minutes

3, approximately 30 seconds later the Hyfi router and extender LEDs are all turned on, indicating successful registration. The Extender will automatically restart once the registration is successful.

After approximately 30 seconds, the Hyfi router and extender LEDs become illuminated steady

Note: If you have more than one extender that needs to be registered, sign up as described above (an extender that has already been registered requires no action). One registration operation cannot register multiple extenders at the same time.

Second, the power line environmental impact

The Hyfi router and extender need to be connected to the same meter and try to avoid excessive air switches between the two (some of the air switches have a greater loss of signal transmission). Hyfi routers and extender transmission data between the wire, if the environment has high-power electrical appliances, power lines are poor quality, power lines may be too long to cause registration failure.

WORKAROUND: It is recommended that you plug the Hyfi router and the extender into the same or adjacent power connector, and then insert it into the actual use location after successful registration.

Third, restore factory settings

If the Hyfi router and extender are not successful following the appeal method, it is recommended that the Hyfi router and Hyfi extender be restored to the factory settings and then registered again.

Reset method: In the case of electricity, use paper clips, toothpicks and other sharp objects hold the reset button, see the Light flash 6 times into a long light, indicating the success of the reset. After the reset is successful, the registration operation is renewed.

Press the reset button to restore factory settings
