FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
?
Why can’t I connect to my wireless router or my wireless connection
drops?
1. Verify that your Range Extender is within range of your wireless router. Try
plugging it into a location closer to the router and verify the Status LED is
solid green.
2. Note that when extending a wireless signal from a router or access point,
devices connected to the Range Extender will not get the same speed/
throughput as when connected directly to the router.

How do I change the wireless settings on my Range Extender?

go to the URL found on the QIC or on the back of the Range Extender
(i.e., http://dlinkapXXXX.local./).
2. At the login screen, enter your Admin Password (If WPS Setup was used, the
password is “password” by default) and click Log in.
3. Go to Settings > Extender.
4. Enter a new Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and modify the security (Wi-Fi
password) settings as needed.
5. Click Save.
What is Mesh Smart Roaming?
With Mesh Smart Roaming, your Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) will
automatically roam to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, eliminating the need to
switch between your Router’s and Range Extender’s Wi-Fi signal as you
move around your home.
Mesh Smart Roaming Requirements:
1. The Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) must support the 802.11k/v
standard.
2. The Wireless Name (SSID) & Wireless Password must be the same
on both the Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender and your Wireless Router.
How do I setup my Range Extender using WPS?
IMPORTANT
WPS may be disabled on some Routers or Modems. If the WPS Status LED on your Router or
Modem does not start blinking when you have pressed the WPS button, try again and hold it
a little longer. If it still does not blink, STOP, and congure your Range Extender using the
D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup.
1. Plug your Range Extender into an available outlet near your
wireless router and wait until the Status LED is blinking
amber (this may take up to 3 minutes). You can move it to a
more suitable location after it is set up. If the status LED does
not light up, ensure the power toggle switch underneath is
in the “on” position.
2. Press the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on your
wireless router for 3 seconds. An LED should start blinking
on your router. If it does not blink, see the important
note above.
3. Once confirmed that the WPS light is blinking on your router, within one
minute, press the WPS button on your Range Extender for 2-3 seconds.
The Status LED should start to blink green.
4. When the Status LED turns solid green (may take up to 3 minutes), this
indicates that your Range Extender is securely connected to your wireless
router.
Your setup is complete! You can now unplug and move your Range Extender
to a location between your Wireless Router and the area where you want
wireless coverage. By default, your Range Extender will share the same
Wi-Fi name and password as your Router. When using WPS setup, the default
Admin Password is “password”.
If after moving your Range Extender, the signal strength indicator is showing
one single amber bar or if your Range Extender LED does not turn solid green
within 3 minutes, move your Range Extender to a wall outlet closer to your
wireless router.
