Now, coming back to the question you have asked, look, there are two easy ways through which you can make a secure connection between your WiFi range extender and router. But, before that, you need to configure the extender first via wifi.wavlink.com.
Methods to Connect Wavlink Extender and Router
Here are the two easy methods that will help you connect your devices in a hassle-free way. Keep scrolling down!
Using the WPS Method
The first method to make a connection between your devices is using the WPS method. In this method, you have to:
Keep your WiFi range extender and router in close proximity.
Power them up using a working wall socket.
Wait for the LEDs on your devices to get stable. It might take 2-3 minutes.
Now, locate and press the WPS button on your Wavlink router (on some models).
Within a few minutes, press the Wavlink extender’s WPS button.
And, there you are! Until you reach this step, your Wavlink extender and Wavlink router will be connected using the WPS feature.
Now, you can try accessing the Wavlink extender’s login page via wifi.wavlink.com or Wavlink router login page by 192.168.10.1 IP to verify if the WPS connection between your devices is made successfully or not.
What if my router doesn’t have the WPS button? Need not to worry! You can use a wired source for the same.
Using the Wired Source
In this method, you must have access to a working Ethernet cable. Once you have it, insert one end of the cable into your Wavlink extender and the other end into one of the Ethernet ports of your Wavlink router. The connection must not be loose and the cable must not be damaged, ok.
Thus, in this way, you can connect your devices in a hassle-free manner.
Now, you can log in to your devices one by one by using your computer or laptop (anything you have) and change their settings their settings accordingly, configure them, and update their firmware. But, if you want to make changes to your router first, then you need to connect your client device to your router’s WiFi or via Ethernet cable, log in to it, and do anything you want (means to configure it or update its firmware). And, after that, do the same with your extender. Get disconnected from your router’s WiFi, get connected to the extender, and do whatever you want.
We really hope that making a connection between your devices after applying the instructions in this post will be a piece of cake for you.
