D-Link Extender Setup
Setting up your D-Link extender is essential for improving your WiFi coverage. Follow these steps for a smooth installation:
Position the Extender:
Place your D-Link extender midway between your WiFi router and the area where you need better coverage. Ensure it's within range of your router's signal.
Connect to Power:
Plug your D-Link extender into an electrical outlet and wait for it to power up.
Access Setup Interface:
Connect your computer or mobile device to the D-Link extender's default WiFi network.
Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) into the address bar.
Login and Configuration:
Log in using the default credentials (typically admin for both username and password).
Follow the setup wizard to configure the extender’s settings. Choose your existing WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
Finish Setup:
After configuration, disconnect from the extender’s network and reconnect to your main WiFi network. Your extender should now be active.
