Q&A
1. How does Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro amplify the wireless signal?
The purpose of using an amplifier is to enhance and amplify an existing wireless signal, so before setting it, you must know which signal you want to amplify and the wireless password for that signal.The amplifier works like a relay. The main router is the T-bit, the amplifier is the second bit, the WiFi signal is the relay stick, and the mobile phone, computer and other devices are the end point.The first and second runners carry the baton to the finish line by running back and forth, so that the WiFi signal can be transmitted to a distant destination.The more athletes participate in the relay, the farther the WiFi signal travels.
2. How to manage Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro?
If the amplifier is used with Mi router, it can be managed and set through Mi WiFi APP; if it is not equipped with Mi router, it can be managed and set through Mi Home APP.
3. What should I do if the network speed of Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro slows down after using it for a period of time?
If you find that the network speed slows down after using the amplifier, it may be caused by wireless environment interference. At this time, check the status of the amplifier through Xiaomi WiFi or Mi Home APP. If the prompt signal is not good, it is suggested to shorten the distance between the amplifier and the main router and try again.
4. What if Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro cannot work normally?
Firstly, check the status of the amplifier through Mi WiFi APP or Mi Home APP, and follow the following steps:
1. If the prompt signal is not good, it is suggested to change the position of the amplifier and put it in a position not obviously blocked from the main router.
2. If the amplifier is offline, at this time, first rule out whether the WiFi signal of the main router is abnormal. If there is no problem, it is recommended to turn off the amplifier and restart it.
3. Check that the primary router has the black and white list turned on.
4. If none of the above can solve the problem, press the reset button for more than 5 seconds and see that the yellow indicator light is always on. Complete the reset and reset again.
