Setup Website: re.brostrend.com

• Please kindly note that re-brostrend.com is a phishing website against BrosTrend. Please do NOT type it in the search bar. Otherwise, you will be directed to the phishing website re-brostrend.com
• The correct setup website is re.brostrend.com and it's not a regular website. It's a local web address used to open the settings of BrosTrend WiFi extender.
• Please connect your wireless device to the default network BrosTrend_EXT and then enter re.brostrend.com in the address bar of your browser.

Try the following solutions:

• If a WiFi device is used, make sure your WiFi device has connected to the extender’s network, and not that of your router. If the WiFi extender is not set up, please connect to the default network (BrosTrend_EXT) of the WiFi extender. If the WiFi extender has been set up, connect your WiFi device to one of the extended networks. Make sure that the Mobile Data (if any) function is disabled.

• If a computer is used, connect your computer to the WiFi extender via an Ethernet cable. In this way, your computer is connected to the WiFi extender physically. Make sure that your PC has no Internet connection during its setup.

• Verify that re.brostrend.com or 192.168.0.254 is correctly entered in your browser.

• Use another WEB browser and try again.

• Reboot or reset the extender and try again.

When the PWR LED of the extender is solid on, press the RESET button on the extender with a needle, and release. The SIGNAL, WPS and PWR LED will flash once at the same time, then the PWR LED will turn back to solid blue.This indicates that your WiFi extender is reset to the default factory setting successfully.

Refer to Q2 to reset the WiFi extender, and then visit re.brostrend.com or 192.168.0.254 to create a new login password.

• The router may be encrypted with WEP or WPA/WPA (Enterprise) algorithm. Change the encryption type of the router to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, and try scanning again.
• Your main router is using a WiFi channel which is not supported by this WiFi extender. You need to login to the WEB Management Interface of your main router and change its WiFi channel to anyone which is listed below: 

2.4GHz: Channel #1~#11

5GHz: Channel 36/40/44/48/149/153/157/161/165

• You can search the signal to see if the default network BrosTrend_EXT still exists. If the default network BrosTrend_EXT exists, the WiFi extender is not set up.
• Login the WEB Management Interface of the WiFi extender to see if the extended state is expanded.
• You can put the WiFI extender and your router in the same room and observe if the SIGNAL LED gets solid blue.

• Place it closer to your router. The WiFi extender should be placed within the WiFi coverage of your router. We recommend that it is placed halfway between your router and the WiFi dead zone. 

• When a device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the device shown on the router is translated to another MAC address. If your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL is enabled, the devices connected to the extender cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet. To solve this problem, please follow the steps below:

1.  Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL. Note: For more information about how to disable your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control or ACL, please refer to your router’s user guide.
2.  Power on your WiFi extender, and configure it again.
3.  Connect all of your devices to the extended networks.
4.  On your router, add all the Online Devices’ MAC addresses to your router’s MAC filter table.
5.  Enable the router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL to complete the configuration.

• Please unfold both antennas and adjust the angles of its antennas.

• The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the WiFi extender and the wireless router and also a clear line of sight between the extender and the wireless devices you are using. Please do not install the wifi extender in your wifi dead zone where existing router wifi signal is not available.

• To minimize signal interference, please choose a location which is far away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronic devices, such as cordless phones, microwave ovens and baby monitors. Please avoid a thick wall or glasses or other materials. 

• Please do not install the WiFi extender too close to the floor or top of your roof. We suggest that it should be placed on a spot with 2.5 feet in height. 

• If your router supports 2.4Ghz wifi band and 5Ghz wifi band, we suggest that you may log in to the WEB Management Interface of this wiFi extender and select the other band. 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz performance of a router differ even in the same environment.
