Instant access to your extender setup guide.
If your Wi-Fi feels weak in certain parts of your home, a Wi-Fi extender can help expand coverage.
With this guide, you can install it yourself with my wifi ext net or my wifi ext local — no technical expertise or special tools needed.
A Wi-Fi extender connects to your router and re-transmits its signal into spaces where it’s weak. This eliminates dead areas and provides you with a more stable connection across your area.
You can choose between WPS button setup and Smart Setup Wizard.

Step 2: Connect to the Extender’s Default Network
Step 3: Open the Extender Setup Page
Step 4: Log In and Update Security Settings
Step 5: Link the Extender to Your Main Router
Step 6: Move the Extender to the Best Spot
1. Locate the reset button on the device
2.Hold it for 10 seconds until LEDs blink
3.Reconnect and follow setup steps again
Q1: What is my wifi ext net?
A local web address for setting up and managing your Wi-Fi extender from a browser.
Q2: Can I have multiple extenders?
Yes — simply leave them far enough apart to avoid signal overlap.
Q3: Sometimes my extender disconnects. Why?
It could be too far from the router — relocate it closer for a better connection.
After proper installation, your Wi-Fi extender will assist you in streaming, gaming, and working online without any disruptions.
