Unable To Connect With Extender

Not able to connect your devices to the extender, after setting it up perfectly? There can be errors in the extender’s configured settings, router, or the device itself. You may be able to recognize the error, but what if you don’t know how to resolve that? However, don’t be worried, as this information will surely help you to fix that, so read this attentively.

Check The Extender Connection

First of all, make sure that the extender is properly plugged in and powered on and also must be ready to connect. To get to know this, check the extender’s power light as the optimal color will notify you about the working. If the LED is not ideal, then try using another power socket. As there might be some errors in the power socket working. In this way, being unable to connect with the extender issue will be removed easily.

Make A Wired Connection

If the above solution is not able to resolve the error, then try making a wired connection instead of the wireless one. Sometimes, there can be a fault in the wireless network connection, or maybe the network stops appearing in the list. So, use an ethernet cable and insert its ends into the device, extender, and router ethernet ports. After doing this, your device will start getting a reliable and strong internet signal with maximum stability.

Connect Another Device

In this case, use another device to make a connection between the extender and the device. Ensure that the other device is running on the latest software version. This point will also help you to determine if the error is in the extender and device. If that other device is able to attach to the extender network then it means there was a fault with your original device’s settings. But, if it is not able to connect, then try out another solution here.

Connect With Right Network

Equally important to connecting another device, choosing the right network is also a considerable point. Keep in mind to make the network SSID name different and give it a unique identity. Sometimes, your neighbors might use the same network name, and your device is connected to them accidentally. For this purpose, try changing the network name and password as well often to make the network safer.

Use Password Accurately

While connecting to the extender, it is also a consideration to use the network password correctly. Keep in mind to use spacing and special characters in a perfect way while inserting the password. The point here is that you have to insert the updated password if you changed that earlier. After inserting the password, click on the connect button. But, if it still shows errors or you just forgot the password, then use another foolproof solution.

Reset The Extender

To retrieve the forgotten password or to discard the previously configured settings, reset the device. This process will allow you to set a new password and connect with the extender. So, reset the extender by using its reset button and wait till it completes the process. After resetting it, try connecting your device to the extender network. Also, configure the extender again by using a web browser or the Linksys app.
