Check the Connection Source
One of the biggest reasons why you are getting the issue is because you have made the mistake of not connecting your devices in a proper way. Thus ensure that:
If you have used a wired source, make sure that the cable used by you is well working. On the other hand, the Ethernet cable is supposed to be connected to the correct ports of your extenders and your home router.
And, if you are thinking to connect them in a wireless manner, then ensure to lessen the distance between them. How? By plugging them closer using 3 working wall sockets or an extension cord! But, for this, you must have the SSID of your home network handy and a fast internet connection!
Need Another Way?
Don’t want to use both ways (wired and wireless) to connect your range extenders to your home network (router)? If yes, then take the help of the WPS method. All you have to do is to press the WPS button on your range extenders and after a few minutes, you need to apply the same process on your host router.
And, there you are! You have successfully connected your Victony range extender and Nextbox extender to your home network (router).
Relocate Your Extenders
If you are still struggling with the same issue, then you need to change the location of your devices. Why? Chances are your Victony extender’s and Nextbox extender’s WiFi signals are getting interrupted by:
-
Baby monitors
-
Treadmills
-
Alexa devices
-
Bluetooth speakers
-
Gaming consoles
-
Play stations, and so on.
If so, it might result in the issue! Thus, to connect your devices in a hassle-free way, just keep them away from the barriers listed above. Also, you need to keep your devices (while and after connecting them) at the center-most area in your home and that too on a higher, clean, and well-ventilated location.
