Kung gumagana ang WiFi Extender/Wireless Access Point mo sa ibang modem pero ayaw kumonek sa internet sa isang modem, posibleng may isa sa mga sumusunod na issues:
1. IP Conflict or DHCP Issue
Cause: Pareho silang nagbibigay ng IP (DHCP), kaya nagka-conflict.
Solution:
I-access mo ang settings ng extender/AP sa browser (usually via 192.168.1.1
Disable DHCP on the extender.
Or, set it to Bridge Mode or Access Point Mode (not Router/Repeater if not compatible).
2. Modem Security Settings (MAC Filtering or IP Binding)
Cause: May security feature ang modem na hindi nagpapapasok ng unknown devices.
Solution:
I-check ang modem settings (through browser: 192.168.1.1).
Disable MAC Filtering, or add the extender’s MAC address to the allowed list.
Turn off IP binding/static routing if enabled.
3. Incompatible WiFi Modes
Cause: The modem is on a specific band or mode (e.g., 5GHz only) not supported by the extender.
Solution:
Check if your modem is on 5GHz only — older extenders support 2.4GHz only.
Set modem to Mixed Mode (2.4GHz + 5GHz).
4. Wrong Password or Hidden SSID
Cause: Extender can't authenticate or detect SSID properly.
Solution:
Double check the password.
Ensure SSID broadcast is enabled.
Try manual setup instead of WPS (if used).
5. Firmware Issue or Compatibility
Cause: Outdated firmware or brand-specific compatibility.
Solution:
Check for firmware updates for the extender.
Try factory resetting the extender and setting it up again manually.
