WiFi repeater setup on mobile
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- A friend of mine had problem with WiFi range at home so she decided to get a cheap repeater to extend the range of her WiFi router. Unfortunately, this WiFi repeater is a typical no name so let's just call it The Repeater. All the details of the repeater and first test setup in the video.

I wasn't automatically directed to that browser page shown at 3:34 - So I typed in the IP address shown in the video 192.168.10.1/index.htm and it got me straight through. It's worth pointing that bit out as some people may not get automatically routed to that repeater login page.
Thank you Very hard. Comment pinned
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 No worries. Very helpful video anyway.

For anyone struggling to set theirs up:
This device will connect to the router but it will not relay the connection if you mess with the IP range! You can change the subnet for the device - eg. if it's factory settings are 192.168.10.1, then changing the device IP to 192.168.11.1 will work fine but 192.168.10.2 will not. Go figure.
It said to put pin in where's the pin number please
kathy O'Brien mine says that aswell
Thanks for the info, but you could definitely shave the length down of this video. The first 3 minutes are not really necessary.

Thank you very hard for all d tips.
I cannot pin two comments so I will add yours as a reply to the one that is pinned.
I "think" mine is set up. It's an Repeater only. Do i have to now move all my devices over to the "new" network name?
@@GabMag11 i connect every device to both networks so that losing one signal just causes it to switch to the other. if your devices aren't moving just connect them to whichever signal is strongest
Yes, this is the way to go. Your mobile or laptop should automatically set for the strongest signal.
I've been trying all morning to find something I could use a reference to reset and change the password on my repeater. This video did it. thanks very much.
Happy 2 help. All best mate
Thank you for this. I am actually a software developer but I really loathe things like this because the instructions are usually not great. In my case I was confused by the instructions because they only envisage connecting from a computer, whereas many will be (as you and I did) using a mobile phone to do it. Also at no point whatsoever was I able to connect by IP (stated in the instructions as 192.168.10.1. However after resetting I saw what you saw in my phone's list of available networks and went from there. The available networks were also not visible (just a spinning wheel) in the Repeater configuration page until I did a reset of the device using the small button.
I've done a bit of s/w development and I find poorly written instruction manuals extremely frustrating. For example I have a sewing machine I am having trouble getting set up because the manual is terrible. I have written hundreds of programs, and I can replace the timing belt on my Honda, but I can't get a sweing machine to work, lol.
Hey could you tell me how to reset this device though? I ain't able to connect to it, neither is the repeater website working.
You did not show the cable being attached to the router from the ethernet socket. I have several LAN spaces at the back of my router, which one do i use?
I don't remember I made this video ages ago buy something up to date like this one ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
Can somebody tell me if I need to plug my repeater to my computer with a wire, of if I have to plug it to something else (a router for example....) or if I don't have to plug it at all, and leave it the way it is in the outlet. Yes I'm confused!!! Thanks!!!
It worked nicely and my speed improved compared to when I was connected to main router, thank you for the video
No problem mate. Happy 2 help.

Great clip - been struggling for ages, all sorted now! Thank you
I just shot a video, a couple of weeks ago, about a different repeater ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
I'll be shooting more videos about routers in foreseeable future. I am happy that I was helpful.
Cant seem to find my wifi icon on computer, Im also having trouble setting this up, I cant seem to notice any difference although Im not sure how you actually see anything that tells you its actually working??? Puzzled really>???got in touch with suppliers for help and even these instructions don't really make any
sense at all especially when I asked them to explain how we can see a difference or notice anything!!!!???? Complete mystery to me start to finish now removed it and noticed no difference !!!!
Has to be wireless not wired
@@evanbrock6335 It is WIRELESS, just plug in, thats what I have done but all problems above still same, and how does one know its actually doing anything at all???
My video describes rare case where you need to manually set the connection up, but did you try WPS authentication to begin with like in my other video? ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
Thanks, I was just given one w/out the user manual so this is interesting.
Me too! Would LOVE to get a copy of those directions!
@@pamgreenfield1876they aren’t helpful at all
BEST on the net...thx for your help!
Thank you, I am very happy when I help people.
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 and we're grateful for your good insight, and by the way yiu had a follow up video about this product?
Can you please send me a link with that!🙏?
Much obliged!🙏
Nice 👍🏾 video !! I prescribed !!! The view of your rear garden ? Side is very nice !!!! all green and quiet atmosphere !!
Thank u very, Very hard ;)
Hi all, and thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Just wanted to ask about the password that the new wlan asks for, I cannot connect to it. Isn’t it suppose to be the same psw as the main one from the router? Thanks in advance 😊
Thank you
Happy 2 help
I have this repeater when connected through Wi-Fi the signal strength is low but if you connect your PC to repeater using Ethernet cable the speed is high ping is 20 download speed is 391mbps download speed is 451mbps
Yeah it's trash :(
Hello may you help me
Why does my show “No internet” after the whole setup
It allows me to connect to the repeaters wifi network but no internet access?
Read the manual properly you have to set the repeater to the main router with its generic password and device name. Did you try using WPs autentication it shoud be the easiest way to connect to your router. Just press WPS authentication on your router and then on your repeater. Here is link how to perform that, let me know how it went ruclips.net/video/WZaIfyvERcA/видео.html
Mine has a lock and is asking for a password when trying to connect. Reset button does nothing.
Thank you very much. This helped me to set mine up.
All best or better mate. I am happy to B helpful.
You say now we're up and running but but I then have to put another password in to connect but it keeps saying password is wrong?
Same problem I’m having
It's the same password as you're router.
I ordered just one 36.$ they added one more making total 67 $ and change... I did watch your video...I did everything....didn't work with my internet in fact my internet is so messed up now...I sent it back and called the number. They said I'd have to repay a return stock . So for those out there you will only get 58$ back.... the advertising I saw when I googled no mention of a restock fee... in fact the ad said full refund if it doesn't work....
So as I just proved in the previous comment u are a victim of scammers they sent you product worth 5 dollars you pay 50 then request return and they charge you 10 dollars. so thechnically speaking they earn 100% commisions without selling you anything, they can sell the repeaters again. The device works by the way. It is highly possible that you have problem simmilar to this one ruclips.net/video/n54-eEvoMpg/видео.html&ab_channel=Vox
So it seems, I generally take what people are saying....I miss the old days when a person's word was gold....thanks for your time, have a great pre morning?...it's 3am here...😴😴
10 in d morning here in rainy Ireland. All best, stay safe and hopefully you will not get scammed ever again. ;)
You look like James Murray from the show impractical jokers. 😂
Carl Pilkinkton looks like me.
I need some help.
I connected the device and the first time it worked fine, then I had to place it in another corner in the house so that it would be more usefull. Now it says that I have no internet connection. I tried to reset it, unplug it, whatsoever.. It doesn't work.
Still need help?
@@tomasl9221 yes please. It always said that no internet connection. What sould i do now?
This product doesn’t work for me is there a helpline or someone that can help me
Just going to set mine up again will help you through the process ok
kathy O'Brien thanks
I just set it up its easy do you still need help
kathy O'Brien yes!
kathy O'Brien where did you get your router password from?
I have this very same repeater but I have an issue, I just changed my wifi password so it no longer works. I tried reseting the repeater but now on the green screen it does not load, as I type in the user name and password (admin for both) and click log in nothing happens. It just won't go anywhere it stays on the green screen and it does not let me get to the main menu :( what do I do?
Where did that plug come from? I got no cable and it won’t connect to any plug I have
Thank you. Super helpful video.
Is it a must that u do a factory reset on the device? New or not?!
Worked fine for a couple of months but now it's disconnecting a lot. Tried resetting but still same issue, please comment if anyone faced the same issue, any root cause and how were you able to fix it?
So I have a Apple iPhone and I wanted to connect to it but it needed a network password but I didn’t know it and when I went on my computer to put the url in it didn’t work
What do you do if it doesn't help you set it up, but takes you to a menu screen for various things. Im not sure what to do after that.
Let me ask...could u use multiple extenders in your house?
Do you get higher speeds if you connect a LAN cable?
Got this for 5 dollars on aliexpress and it’s amazing 🤩
Really?🤔
@@leonardofuentes2592 yes it was 11:11 sale, i think it’s still up for 6-7 dollars, it automatically directs you to the website and all to set it up, i named it same as my wifi router and also added the same password, now it works like a roaming device, it’s been over a month and this thing is working flawlessly
Me too but it’s not working on my iphone and idk why.
Hi, set goes well but I get the message 'No Internet, secured' when I connect. Is there something I need to do to allow internet connection?
I do not know the specification of you Wi-Fi router, did you try to set the WPS authentication instead of setting the connection manually like in this vidoe My video describes rare case where you need to manually set the connection up, but did you try WPS authentication to begin with like in my other video? ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html ?
Thank You
No problem mate. Please remember that I made this very review a couple of years ago. And this particular equipement is outdated.
It helped me. Thanks man! :D
What if u use Ethernet cable will it be better
I just spent £12 on one of these, i thought it was just plug it in, put in the ethernet cable from the modem and off you go..non of this, website, log in, log in again, check passwords..yeah, ill scrap installing this because ill just balls it up
Can i use it without a cable
@@bsmwalidos3487 don't have a clue..I ended up unplugging it because my one made no difference to the speeds what so ever so now it's just sat in my draw
What wifi password do I put in? It keeps saying wrong password when I try to connect to the devices wifi
Thank you!
Hi i want to connect my repeater to a different wifi, how do i disconnect it from the old one?
Reset
like this is my experience ,very same cannot connect another wifi
like this is my experience ,very same cannot connect another wifi
Many thanks, but once you've got it to connect by this method, how many green light to you expect to see on the repeater ?
I am terribly sorry but the repeter belonged to a friend of mine and is well gone I have no access to it but did you watched my other video about a repeater did you try WPS authentication???? ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
very helpful- thanks!
Happy to help 😃
I would like to read the actual instructions because I’m having trouble.
I got a new router/SSID and need to reset my extender. I don’t have the original instructions anymore that came in the box.
Can you please scan your instruction’s paper a pin a link to the scanned file?
I’m unable to connect with WPS and don’t understand how to log into the extender and complete the screen because I don’t understand the field mapping nomenclature. Thank you!
Did you watch the video?
thank you for this finally got ours sorted and connected !
Glad it helped. I am here to help ;)
my wifi can t find it , why ?tried everythings and everywhere in the house
Can't get mine to work with an outdoor surveillance camera. I have other outdoor cameras that work fine on my regular wifi signal.
Can we disable DHCP from this Repeater ? sometime my laptop got IP from main router, sometime got different IP from this Repeater (sometimes make internet disconnected)
.
What do I do if the repeater doesn't pop up on my WiFi when I try to connect
Great video, although the outside cases of these devices vary, it seems at the heart they are the same or very similar. So it's a one size fit's all video solution. Cheers!
Yes there are newer models, just check the date under the video. I know that the same device can run 5 GHz where the one in the video does only 2.4 GHz.
Thanks bro this helped me out alot 🙏
U r welcome
The websites never load for me
@BuyOrBuyNot is there a way to set a 2.4ghz connection with this Repeater
I finished set up and I cant connect it says obtaining ip adress forever. please help
same
Where did that strip come from?.
One question is it normal that it then hides the old router
For some reason the old one isnt then available
When I try to connect to WiFi repeater it just says connecting and doesn’t connect please help
Thomas Dimareli do you still have the same problem?
did you try wps authentication like in this video? ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
It don't nothing actual happens it doesn't boost range at all
@Tommy Do That's the issue people are having, you can't due connect due to the product being password protected.
@Tommy Do Yes, when you try to connect after going into wifi you need to type in a password.
It really depends on the type of speed issue you are having. First of all your maximum internet speed is determined by the hardware i.e. the connection type you have and provider limits. For example I have a 12 Gb/s connection but my provider gives me only 1 Gb/s . If you want to make this values higher you would have to get faster internet connection or a higher speed limit form your provider. If the porlbem with speed comes form the distance form the router, yes such a repeater or range extender can speed up the connection between your laptop or mobile phone and your router but it will never exceed the speeds provided by your internet provider. I have a video about a different repater that runs on 5 Gh as well and can provide better speeds but only with the internet capalbe device like laptop of mobile phone and the router ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
you can check it out. But remember repeater of signal booster will never get you more than what you get form your internet provider.
Thank you bro
No problem mate
in repeater mode does it create its own NAT?
Hi nice video, followed it through mines all set up now.
Just one thing, do my wireless devices need connecting to the repeater or the modem? For they both show up on wifi screen now.
I will make a video about repeaters sooner of later explaining all of the features. Your mobile for example should automatically select the device with stronger signal. So you can technically log into two networks and your mobile phone should use the best one.
Thanks
So if i understand this correctly, 🤔
I log on to my router using any device (all do this automatically) then walk away from the house like yourself in the video, until the signal weakens.
Then by chance I come across my repeater plugged into a socket at the end of my drive, 😃 the device I'm using should then switch automatically to the repeater (if the signal is a stronger)?
Thanks for your patience I'm old and from the days of black n white tv👴🏻
What if my network wont show up on the list of networks when i go to link the wifi pro to it? It shows pretty much every other network around me but mine. Theres a bunch of networks with no names, and. Ive gone through each of them one by one and still cant find mine.
Did u check if your router is broadcasting 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz network or both. Is you repeater 2.4 GHz only or does it work with 5 GHz networks as well?
I believe its 2.4. It worked before though. I accidentally unplugged it and ever since then it wont show up
Did u try resetting d repeater
@@BuyOrBuyNot123 yes i do that like 10 times every time i try to set it up because the login screen wont show up unless i do
I will send u link for a review of a different repeater in which wps authentication is shown please watch that and try it. When done let me know if it helped. Link in next comment

Did you try WPS authentication like in this video??? ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
What is the difference between the 2 versions AP or Repeater. I am having issues with wireless in my house. The internet router is at the back of the house. I like to sit in the lounge at the front. My Internet provider says that the walls are blocking the signal. They wont fix it. So I need to work something out. How will it extend the range, if it is plugged in at the back near the internet?
Rowena Cranmer Try going to your router gateway and setting up a 5Ghz network.
Get this thing, it is better. ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html find a good spot for it a couple of meters from the router in a spot where u stil get good signal.
5GHz has even worse wall and obstacle penetration watch my other video bout a different repeater ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
I'm about 2 years too late, but the best bet would be to lay cat6 cables in the ceiling then into a repeater where you want to use the wifi.

Mine is a tenth of the normal speed using it as an extender over wifi
I made this video quite a while ago. U probably have 2.4/5 GHz and this extender operates only on 2.4 GHz. You should get something that runs both netowrk types. I made another review of a following Wi-Fi extender ruclips.net/video/Sc-xe5uZepI/видео.html
