Causes for Difficulty in Setting Up WL WN578HR2 N300 Extender
There can be several reasons like:
Incorrect Placement
Firstly, the placement of the extender can make a huge difference not only during the initial setup but also after setup. So make sure you are placing the extender within the range of the router. Secondly, it should be placed in a central location of your home. So that it can cover the entire area with ease. Further, do not place the extender near the electronic or metal objects. As these objects can cause interference with the signals.

Secondly, there are chances that your router and extender aren’t compatible with each other. So before proceeding with the setup process, make sure you check the compatibility of your existing router with the WL WN578HR2 N300 Extender.
Improper Configuration Steps
Many times users do not follow the correct setup method. There are many instances where users generally skip the on-screen instructions and do not pay attention to minor details. So it’s always recommended to check every detail in the user manual.
Incorrect Login Details
During the login process, you might be typing in the wrong credentials. Even a single typing mistake won’t let you set up the extender properly. So always double check the password and username. Further, keep a check on the letter case as the login details are case sensitive.
Firmware Issues
Pending firmware updates are the major cause as to why you aren’t able to set up the extender. Pending updates not only cause connectivity issues but they also affect the security of your network. So always make sure you are using the updated version.
Power Supply Issues
There can be chances that your router or your extender are not getting a proper supply of electricity. Further, the loose connections can also cause troubles. This is why we advise you to choose a power outlet that has connectivity with the inverter. Lastly, also make sure the connected wires do not have any cuts or bruises on them.
