How to set up the Wavlink AC1200 extender in a home network?

The Wavlink extender setup process has become the convenient one because of the WPS connection process method. A user doesn’t need to know the Wifi name and network key of the router with which he is connecting the range extender. All you have to make sure of is that the router to which you are connecting the range extender must support the WPS connection method. Make sure there is a physical WPS button in the front panel of the router.

Note: Before the setup process, ensure you know the location to place the range extender for its optimum performance.

• Type in the Wi-fi password of the host’s network and click on the Connect button.
• Wait for a few seconds until the screen shows the 100% connection.
• Once the connection process is done, wait for 60 seconds to allow the transmission of Wi-fi signals.
• When the Wi-fi LED comes back to solid blue, it indicates that you have clean and clear Wi-fi signals.
• Now, you can relocate your range extender to an optimal place.
• When you connect it, wait for one to two minutes to allow it to connect.

Note: Once the setup process gets done, you need to relocate your range extender to an optimum location from where it can receive the maximum Wifi signals. An ideal location for a range extender is midway between the router and the dead Wifi zone. Even if you are unable to determine a location for it, you can check the instructions given in the online manual guide of the Wavlink range extender.
