BrosTrend Extender Installation Guide
You can connect the extender to your home router either wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable. Here's how to set it up:

Using WPS Button


  • Plug your extender into a wall outlet.

  • Locate the WPS button on both the router and the extender.

  • Press the WPS button on the router first, followed by the extender.

  • Wait a moment – the devices should connect automatically.


Using an Ethernet Cable

  • Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the router’s LAN port and the other end to the extender’s Ethernet port.

  • Open a web browser on a device connected to the extender network.

  • Log in to the extender's setup interface to complete the configuration.


Accessing the BrosTrend Extender Interface
To log into your extender:

  • Connect your computer or laptop to the BrosTrend extender's WiFi network.

  • Use the default username and password (usually found on the device label or in the manual) to log in.

Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues
1. Choose the Right Location
Place the extender in a central area, away from devices that can cause signal interference (such as microwaves or cordless phones).

2. Confirm Router Connection
Double-check that the extender is correctly connected to your router, whether wirelessly or via Ethernet. Ensure it’s within an effective range for signal reception.

3. Restart the Extender

  • If you're having issues:

  • Unplug the extender from the power source and plug it back in.

  • Or press the power button twice to perform a soft restart.


4. Perform a Reset (If Needed)

  • If nothing else works, try resetting the extender:

  • Locate the reset button on the device.

  • Hold it down for about 7 seconds.

  • Release the button and wait for the device to reset.

  • After resetting, you'll need to log in again and complete the setup process from scratch.
