• – Use different power socket.
  – Disconnect the ethernet cable if connected to your Range Extender.
  – Reset the range extender by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds.
  – Try manual setup rather than WPS.
  – Connect to its open wireless network.
  – Make sure you are not connected to any other network when trying the manual setup.
  – Now open your browser and visit https://192.168.1.1
  – Start the setup.
  – After completing the setup do check for the firmware update for both router and extender.

• In this case you can try these methods-
  >Unplug your range extender from the wall socket and plug it a little near to your router.
  >Reset it by pressing reset button for 10 to 15 seconds.
  >Plug Ethernet cable in between the range extender and your PC for the setup instead of WPS method.
  >Upgrade firmware of your range extender at the time of setup if it’s showing that firmware update is available.
  >Sometimes it could be a hardware issue due to the damage in the hardware of the range extender so in this condition you need to replace it with new one.
