Basic Fixes: Wavlink Extender Connected But No Internet
Firstly, we will make you aware of a few basic hacks that can be used to get rid of the issue. But, you are supposed to be ready to give a shot at the advanced ones in case the basic hacks don’t work in your favor.
Fix 1: Restart the Extender
Sometimes, it is just a temporary technical glitch due to which the user gets the no internet error on his/her client devices after setting up the extender. Therefore, you are suggested to look for a reliable way to eliminate these glitches. Well, we have a solution for that too. Simply, power down the range extender and let it rest for a few minutes. These minutes can range from 5-10. Once done, power up the range extender once again and see if the internet access returns on your client devices.
Fix 2: Examine the Ethernet Connection
There’s no doubt the extender amplifies the internet signals emitted by the router. With that said, it is necessary that both devices stay in touch always for an efficient signal transfer. But, it looks like the cable connecting them has worn out due to which the internet connection has become unstable and hence the issue has shown up on your client devices. To get the issue resolved, simply replace the Ethernet cable joining both networking devices and be sure that the connection created by you is stable and secure.
Advanced Fixes: Wavlink Extender Connected But Not Internet
Fix 1: Reduce the Extender-Router Gap
You can opt for this troubleshooting technique if your networking devices i.e. WIFI router and Wavlink extender are sharing a wireless connection. Know that for their optimal communication, you are suggested to maintain a decent gap between them. In case you have placed them too far, then the extender won’t be able to draw off the signals emitted by the router. On the other hand, if this distance is made zero by you, then there are chances of your WIFI device’s signals getting clashed with those emitted by others. The ideal distance to be maintained between a Wavlink range extender and the main router is 8ft.
Fix 2: Change the Extender’s Location
After completing the installation of the range extender via the wifi.wavlink.com setup URL, the user is suggested to change its location. We are assuming that you’ve done the same. But, is the location of your WiFi extender optimal? It means have you placed it in a zero-interference zone? Well, we doubt that! Thus, you should pick up your extender and connect it to a wall socket in the room where there are no devices emitting EM waves are present. Apart from this, you need to ensure that your range extender stays away from reflexive surfaces and objects that contain a large amount of water. If possible, you should keep your Wavlink range extender away from metal objects, thick concrete walls, or blind corners.
The Final Resort: Reset the Extender
Although the basic and advanced hacks highlighted above will help you address the issue easily, just in case, they don’t you can opt for the ultimate hack. This ultimate hack is none other than the factory default reset process. All you are required to do is look for the Reset button on the WIFI range extender and press it using a sharp object.
Remember to keep the button pressed for 15-30 seconds. Otherwise, the process won’t get completed. Lastly, you are suggested to set up the extender once again using the Wavlink login URL or the WPS approach.
