Error screens

  2. Mywifiext site cannot be reached
  3. Connection error
  4. Web browser issue

We shall discuss in detail the ways in which you can pay attention and resolve the errors to have a hassle free setup. Sometimes you will see errors while trying to access the site link for setting up the extender, this can be because the this site is not an ordinary site, it is a local web site which can be accessed only when the range extender is connected with the computer via the Ethernet cables. If you see this error you need to check your extender connection.

  2. Always check your web browser’s version. It should be the latest one

  5. Check if the extender’s power LED is on. If not reboot the extender
  6. Tighten all the Ethernet cable connections

  8. Check your extender’s firmware and update it to the latest version
  9. There shouldn’t be any interference like the electronic devices, metal appliances, Bluetooth devices, reflexive surfaces or neighbor’s wifi connection
  10. Improper setup of the wifi range extender
