After the wireless extender has succeeded to the extender main router wireless signal, the wireless terminal connects the extender signal to the Internet, appears the instability or the line off phenomenon, please refer to the following steps to check.
The position of the Extender is unreasonable, it is too far from the main router, the signal strength of the primary router is too weak, which will cause the expansion to be unsuccessful or unstable. From the color of the extender LEDs, you can tell if the Extender is positioned properly. As shown in the following table:
LED Color
|
meaning
|
red flashing
|
expanding
|
Red illuminated steady
|
not extended or extended failed
|
|
40%≤ front-end signal strength ≤80%, extended successfully, and placement of the Extender reasonable
|
Orange
|
front End signal Strength >80% or 40%, extended successfully, but the Extender is poorly positioned, too close or too far away
|
workaround : Adjust the placement of the extender appropriately according to the LED status and make sure the LEDs are green.
When using an extender to scan a wireless signal from a front-end main router, if you see a lot of wireless signals around it, excessive signals can cause wireless interference, resulting in wireless instability. The following figure:
workaround : Log on to the management interface of the main router and set the wireless channel to 1, 6, 11 (choose a channel with fewer and less intensity in three channels). Also try to stay away from the microwave, cordless phones and wireless mouse keyboards.
Wireless Extender has a certain number of machines, such as access to wireless devices too much, exceeding the device with the Extender, will lead to instability.
Workaround : View the status of the host in the wireless settings, if the wireless terminal is too much, it is recommended to set wireless MAC address filtering to limit the number of wireless access or to replace the wireless router with larger size.
