    What You Need Before You Start ?

    It’s always a good idea to keep all the necessary equipment within your reach as it speeds up the whole process. So for WL WN523N2 N300 Extender Setup firstly, you need the WL WN523N2 N300 Extender. Secondly make sure you have a power outlet near to your wifi router. Next, note down the username and password of your current network. Additionally, you need any device like a computer, laptop or your smartphone. Lastly, a user manual for accurate details.

    Beginning The Setup Process With Placement

    Proper placement of the extender can make a huge difference in the overall performance of the network. So you need to place the range extender in the middle of your home. Make sure there are no physical obstructions like walls or metal objects in between. Also, remove all the electronic devices as they can mess up the setup process. Ideally, the extender should be placed halfway from the router and the area where you need the extended coverage. Once the placement is done, let’s move onto the next step.

    Connect The Extender To Power

    Now, we will connect the extender to a power source. So plug in the range extender into an electrical switch board which is near to the router and switch it on. Give the extender some time to boot up. The LED light on the extender will depict its proper working. Check the different LED behavior patterns from the user manual.

    Connect To The Extender

    Further, you now need to connect your host device to the extender’s wifi network. For this firstly open the wifi settings of your device. Secondly, search for the extender’s default SSID. This name often starts with “WL” followed by a series of numbers. Select this network to connect your device to the extender.

    Access The Setup Interface

    Now on the same connected device open a web browser. Go to its address bar and type in the default IP address. The default IP address for the Wavlink extenders is usually 192.168.10.1. Although, we advise you to look for the exact details in the user manual because sometimes these addresses can change as per the model number. Now, as you type in the correct address click Enter. Finally, you will land on the extender’s login page.

    Log In And Configure

    On the login page you will be prompted to enter the default username and password. It is usually admin for both fields. As said earlier, do check the user manual for accurate details. Click on Log In.

    Finally, on your device’s screen you will see a complete list of wifi networks. From the list select the name of your home wifi and enter its password. Now your extender and router will be connected to each other. On the same page you can change various settings. So go through various options and set them as per your network needs.

    Complete the Setup

    Once you have entered the necessary information make sure to review your settings. Ensure everything is correct before finalizing the setup. Click on the Finish button. The extender will reboot itself to apply the changes. So meanwhile do not perform any other activity on the extender. Wait for a few minutes while it completes this process. The LED lights on the extender will help indicate when it is ready for use.

    Let's Test The Connection

    Connect your device to the newly extended network. Move around different corners especially to those that previously were giving you trouble. Start streaming high definition videos to check if there is proper connectivity and lag-free experience or not. In case there are connectivity issues then consider relocating the extender to a new place.

    Troubleshooting Common Issues

    Sometimes, you may encounter problems during setup. So, if the extender does not connect to the Wi-Fi network then you need to double-check your password. Ensure there are no typos. Also, make sure you are using the right letter case. Additionally, make sure your router is functioning properly. Restart both the router and the extender if necessary.

    If the LED lights indicate a poor connection then consider moving the extender closer to the router. Also, check for any obstacles that may block the Wi-Fi signal, such as thick walls or electronic devices.
