Step 3: Once successfully logged in, let's start boosting the WiFi signal for the WiFi device by navigating to Wireless > Wireless Settings. Set a name for the SSID - WiFi name, enable WDS, and then click on Survey.
Step 4: In the Survey, you'll find a list of existing WiFi networks. Click and select the main WiFi of your network, then click on Connect.
Step 5: After making your selection, switch the Key Type to the mode corresponding to your main WiFi Modem, usually the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK standard as shown. Once done, remember to Save.
Note: The Repeater and WiFi Modem must be on the same channel.
Step 6: After this step, click on click here to restart the device.
Continue to click on Reboot to restart the modem.
Step 7: Wait for the WiFi modem to finish restarting, then connect to the WiFi network created earlier.
Step 8: Access the DHCP section and turn off DHCP Server, then Save. This operation also requires a reboot, so follow the above steps.
After the reboot, restart once more, and we have completed enhancing the WiFi signal for the WiFi device. You can place the WiFi in areas with a strong signal and broadcast it to increase the WiFi coverage for your home.
Boosting WiFi for an old Modem, turning the WiFi Modem into a repeater, is a clever method to expand the signal coverage. However, the signal quality may not always meet expectations, and the captured signal may not match the speed of the original WiFi.
Nowadays, we have access to high-speed networks up to 4G, theoretically faster than conventional wired networks on computers. Therefore, we can completely broadcast WiFi via a mobile phone for other devices to connect. Broadcasting WiFi on a phone is also well-supported, takes minimal time, and the broadcast quality is comparable to direct usage.
