How to Setup Trendnet Wi-Fi Extender?

How to rapidly connect the trendnet Wi-Fi extender? Before you going to setup Trendnet WiFi Extender, you must have the following essentials in advance:

  1. Wireless router
  2. Broadband internet
  3. Network cable and computer with a network port and web browser (for manual setup)

Also, be aware that you assemble the Range Extender close to your wireless router before setting it up in its last position.

How to Connect Trendnet WiFi Extender - WPS Setup on Trendnet

For a Wi-fi protected setup, you must have a WPS button on your Trendnet router. If you can't find a WPS button on your Trendnet router, try for a manual installation.

Step 1: Plug the TEW-822DRE into an electric socket close to your Wi-Fi router.

Step 2: Next, move the power regulator to the Extender position. Though not compulsory, we advise you to place the Range Extender close to your wireless router before setting it up.

Step 3: Pause for around two minutes for the TEW-822DRE to boot up. The Power LED will flash all through the booting procedure and regular operation.

Step 4: Force down and hold onto the WPS button on the border of the TEW-822DRE for around five seconds. When WPS pairing is set in motion, the WPS button starts blinking.

Step 5: In the next two minutes, force down and keep hold of the WPS button on your Wi-Fi router for five seconds to kick off WPS pairing.

When the WPS procedure wraps up, the blinking of the WPS button will end.

Step 6: Make sure that the wireless LED is on.

Step 7: If the TEW-822DRE does not connect, then either do the 3-6 steps again after five minutes or choose manual setup.

Step 8: Connect the TEW-822DRE in the eventual location.

Step 9: If you want the best possible performance from your TEW- 822DRE, then set it up in a spot that has a minimum of 2 bars of connection (from your Wi-Fi router to a mobile gadget.)

Step 10: Do not put any furniture in front of the TEW-822DRE.

If the wireless LED colour is blue, then the wireless connection strength between the router and TEW-822DRE is powerful.

However, if the wireless LED colour is red, then the wireless connection strength between the router and TEW-822DRE is frail; at this point, you must consider changing the extender's location.

How to Do a Manual Setup of the Trendnet Wi-Fi Extender?

Step 1: To begin with, insert the TEW-822DRE into an electrical socket next to your Wi-Fi router.

Step 2: Soon after, move the power switch to the Extender position.

Step 3: On your PC, launch a web browser and type in http://tew-822dre or http://192.168.10.100 in the address bar.

Step 4: The TEW-822DRE will automatically kick off the setup wizard.

Step 5: Click Next to continue.

Step 6: Later, the TEW-822DRE will request you to alter the default password (necessary for starting up the management interface.)

Step 7: Soon after, write down your new password in the Password field.

Step 8: Afterward, confirm your password in the Verify Password field.

Step 9: Click Next to continue.

Step 10: Now, the wizard will query you on exactly how you would like to launch your device.

Step 11: After selecting Manual, click Next to continue.

Step 12: At this point, the TEW-822DRE will carry out a site survey for existing Wi-Fi networks.

Step 13: Key in the router’s Wi-Fi password in the Wi-Fi Key field.

Step 14: After that, click Next to continue.

Step 15: As soon as the scan concludes, select your router’s network.

Step 16: Click Next to continue.

Step 17: At this juncture, TEW-822DRE mechanically accepts your router's network name (and Wi-Fi key).

Step 18: Click Next.

Step 19: At this point, be aware that though you can opt for a different Wi-Fi network name for the extended network, you must physically link up gadgets with the extended network.

Step 20: If you continue with the same network name and Wi-Fi key, then your gadgets will automatically join the Range Extender.

Step 21: At this point, the wizard will display the settings for your extended network.

Step 22: If these settings are appropriate, click Save to save your settings.

Step 23: Stop what you are doing as the TEW-822DRE saves your settings. The manual setup has now successfully come to an end.

Step 24: Your extended network is now in force.

Step 24: Set up the TEW-822DRE in the last location.

Step 25: If you want optimum performance, then connect the TEW-822DRE in a spot which has at least 2 bars of connection (from your Wi-Fi router to a mobile device.)

If the wireless LED lights emit a blue colour, then it indicates that the wireless connection to the router is satisfactory. However, if the wireless LED lights produce a red colour, then the wireless connection is feeble. Think about altering the Wi-Fi range extender's setting if you would like a superior wireless connection to the router.
