Common questions

Questions before you buy

What does WPS do on a WiFi extender?

WPS is a pairing method that lets compatible network devices join without typing the WiFi password. The router and extender must both support a compatible WPS process.

Do I need to press WPS on both devices?

Usually, yes: follow the sequence and timing in the manuals for your specific router and extender. Button names and pairing windows vary by manufacturer.

Can I set up an extender without WPS?

Many extenders also offer app or browser setup. Check the manufacturer instructions for the model and your router.

Where should I place a WPS extender?

Pair it near the router first, then move it to a position that still receives a usable signal while reaching the area you want to cover.
