5 การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your rockspace AC1200 WiFi Extender, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• ไม่มีพลังงาน/ไฟ LED ดับ: ตรวจสอบให้แน่ใจว่าเสียบปลั๊กตัวขยายสัญญาณเข้ากับเต้ารับไฟฟ้าที่ใช้งานได้สนิทแล้ว ลองเสียบกับเต้ารับอื่นดู
• Weak Signal (Signal LED not solid blue): Relocate the extender closer to your main router. Ensure there are minimal obstructions between the extender and the router.
• ไม่มีอินเทอร์เน็ต: Verify that your main router has an active internet connection. Reboot both your router and the extender.
• ความล้มเหลวในการเชื่อมต่อ WPS: Ensure you press the WPS button on both the router and extender within the specified time frame (usually 2 minutes). If it fails, try the webการตั้งค่าตาม
• ความเร็วช้า: While extenders improve coverage, they do not directly increase your internet speed. Ensure your extender is placed optimally to receive a strong signal from the router. Consider using the 5GHz band for faster speeds if your devices support it.
• รีเซ็ตเป็นค่าเริ่มต้นจากโรงงาน: If all else fails, perform a factory reset. Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the extender, press and hold it for about 5-10 seconds until the LEDs flash, then release. This will restore the extender to its default settings, requiring re-setup.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย (FAQ)

• Does a Wi-Fi extender increase Wi-Fi speed?
  A Wi-Fi extender primarily extends Wi-Fi coverage and does not boost the speed of your original router. Improving signal reliability can sometimes affect overall throughput positively.
• Would the WPS light turn off after successful installation?
  The WPS indicator will turn off after a successful quick installation using the WPS button. The signal and power lights should be solid blue. A blinking or yellow signal light indicates a weak connection between the extender and the router.
