Pre-requirements For Other Setup Methods

As the WPS setup is the Single-Button method, there is no need to use the extender’s web or IP address. But, the other two processes such as the app setup and web-based setup have some prerequisites.

  • Firstly, the router’s network default SSID and password.
  • Also, the router’s internet connection must be active.
  • Extender’s default login credentials along with the web or IP address.
  • Any Wi-Fi-containing device and access to its web browser.
  • The latest ethernet wires to make the wired connections.

Thus, collect these things to execute the other two setup processes hassle-free.
