Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting
Follow these step-by-step checks to resolve signal drops and connection timeouts:
- Power cycle hardware: Unplug power cables of your modem and router for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
- Switch Wi-Fi channels: Log into admin interface and change 2.4GHz channel to 1, 6 or 11 to bypass interference.
- Update wireless drivers: Ensure your PC's network card drivers are updated to the latest standard.
- Optimize positioning: Keep the router elevated and at least 3 feet away from appliances like microwaves.
Still facing the issue?
Connected, but no internet
Perform these diagnostic checks to restore internet connectivity:
- Check WAN status lights: Ensure the Internet LED indicator is steady blue/white. Blinking orange indicates no ISP signal.
- Flush local DNS cache: Open command terminal as administrator and run
ipconfig /flushdns. - Inspect physical WAN links: Unplug and firmly re-seat the Ethernet cable connecting modem's LAN port to router's WAN port.
- Renew IP Lease: Disconnect from WiFi, turn off router, reboot modem, then start router back up after 2 minutes.

Can't open the router login page
Apply these steps to access your local router gateway dashboard:
- Confirm active connection: Ensure your PC is connected directly to your router's wireless name or wired LAN ports.
- Use direct gateway IPs: Type
http://192.168.1.1orhttp://192.168.0.1in browser URL instead of search. - Disable VPN & proxy clients: Active corporate or personal VPN connections block access to local subnets.
- Open Incognito browser: Bypass corrupt cookies by logging in via a private window.

Slow Wi-Fi or weak signal
Maximize your local bandwidth speed using these settings:
- Select 5GHz SSID: Always use the 5GHz frequency band for high speed close to device. Use 2.4GHz for distance.
- Disconnect idle clients: Turn off older smart devices running heavy background syncs.
- Position centrally: Move the router out of cabinets and place it high up in a central room.
- Verify direct ISP speeds: Connect a PC via Ethernet to the modem to confirm if speed drops originate from your ISP.
Still facing the issue?
Extender won't connect
Restore client handshake links with your extender:
- Pair in same room first: Plug the booster within 5 feet of the main router for initial WPS handshakes.
- Verify security keys: Re-enter your wireless router password exactly, passwords are case-sensitive.
- Run manual web wizard: Connect your mobile directly to the default booster network and setup settings manually.
- Update booster firmware: Prevent hardware loop drops by flashing the device firmware.
Still facing the issue?
Forgot or need to change a password
Recover or adjust your router Wi-Fi security keys:
- Check product default sticker: Look at the sticker on the bottom/back of the device for default settings.
- Perform factory reset: Push a paperclip into the physical Reset pinhole for 10 seconds to restore factory login state.
- Change password in admin: Under wireless settings, configure new keys with WPA2-Personal security protocols.
- Clear saved cache entries: Remove old saved network profiles in your PC/Mobile settings.
