Can’t See Rockspace_Ext in my WiFi List?

Austin Parker — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 13:16:04 +0000

Rockspace_EXT is the default network for the Rockspace Wi-Fi Extender configuration. The first time you set up your Rockspace extender, your phone or PC must connect to Rockspace_EXT from the network list.

Try these solutions if your device cannot identify Rockspace_EXT for extender setup.

The Power LED should be blue and the range extender plugged in.
Reconnect your range extender to power and wait until the light goes blue.
Check if another device or computer can identify rockspace EXT by using it.
If rockspace EXT is still not visible in the network list, you will need to do a factory reset on your range extender, wait for the Power LED to turn blue, and then try again.

Can I connect a Rockspace extender with another Rockspace extender?

Austin Parker — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 13:08:09 +0000

Yes, to your main network, you can connect more than one extender.

The performance of the second extender in the chain will be significantly impacted, so it is not recommended to daisy chain your additional extenders.

How to speed up Rock space Wi-Fi extender?

Wondering! How to speed up Rock space Wi-Fi extender? There are so many ways to boost your network. We have the list of recommendations that will help you to boost your Rock space Wi-Fi extender. We will discuss step by step to know how we can boost the Rock space Wi-Fi extender. Must read the full article carefully and just simply go on with the recommendations we have for you.

Ways to Boost Your WiFi
There are so many ways. So we discuss one by one:

Good Place for Your Extender
Firstly you need to know that all places are not good for extenders. We recommend keeping the extender distant from metal objects and appliances that release electromagnetic waves. Also distant from objects like glass, wood, plastics, and cardboard. The household appliances release electromagnetic waves including kitchen objects like stoves, microwave ovens, and dishwashers. So we recommend avoiding these places to place your extender.

Keep Your Extender Updated
To know if your extender has the newest firmware available:

1. First you need to open any web browser on your connected device.
2. Here in the IP address, enter the IP address and click to enter.
3. Now you will see the Log in page, here enter the default username and password.
4. After that select Firmware Update.
5. Hold on till your router searches and installs the latest firmware.
Note: We recommend not interrupting the update. It will take time and your extender acts to be unresponsive, so give it a moment prior to you disconnecting the extender from power and restarting it.
Get a Stronger Antenna
Mostly Wi-Fi extender accompanies small, weak antennas. It’s not that manufacturers want to save lots of every cent they will, but powerful Wi-Fi antennas tend to be hideously large. Compared to the antenna that came together with your router, which probably is simply a couple of inches tall and also has 4 dB gain, a 10-dB antenna is often anywhere between 10 to fifteen inches tall.

But if you don’t mind the dimensions, a new, powerful Wi-Fi antenna may be a good way how you’ll boost Wi-Fi reception or office without buying a replacement router.

There are several different types of Wi-Fi antennas, but the sole type you would like to worry about is that the common “rubber duck” antenna, which is an electrically short monopole antenna that consists of a springy wire within the shape of a narrow helix, sealed during a rubber or plastic jacket to guard the antenna.
Such antennas use an equivalent RP-SMA connector, and there are many various models available on Amazon and other online stores. Some even accompany a handy extension cable that permits you to put the antenna farther far away from your router to realize optimal signal distribution.
Buy a Wi-Fi Repeater/ Booster/ Extender
Even though they’re mentioned by many names like repeaters, Wi-Fi boosters and extenders are basically equivalent things.
Wi-Fi extenders are comparatively simple devices that, take an existing signal from your Wi-Fi router and rebroadcast it as a replacement network. This new network is simply an extension of your main network, and everyone’s data that undergo it also undergo the most networks.
Wi-Fi boosters and extenders are quite similar, but they boost up the prevailing signal before rebroadcasting it to make a second network. Because Wi-Fi boosters typically have a greater range than Wi-Fi repeaters, they create sense in situations where the first signal is extremely weak.
Switch to 5 GHz
The 5 GHz wireless frequency supply faster data rates at lesser distances and is usually much less busy than the two. 5 GHz wireless frequencies. If your router supports it, consider switching there too for a moment short-range speed boost.

1. To boost your Wi-Fi by switching extender to 5 GHz:
2. First you need to log in to your extender as admin.
3. Then visit settings.
4. Here, open the Wireless Settings tab.
5. After that change the 802.11 bands from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz.
6. Finally click to apply.
7. Lastly restart your extender to apply the new settings.

Note: 5 GHz wireless frequency does not penetrate solid objects closely also because of the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency. This will be a drag in office buildings and residential areas, so it’s advisable to always use 5 GHz in conjunction with 2.4 GHz. That way, you’ll get the simplest of both worlds.

When indicator shows red or no light

Austin Parker — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 16:22:02 +0000

In this article, we will discuss whether the indicator shows red or no light it is weak or fled connecting. We will provide you the brief information that you will get to know about this issue.

First of all, we get to know how to confirm a successful extension?

1. Firstly, you can search the signal to see if there is a repeater factory SSID (If the SSID of the signal is still the factory setting, then it means a failed extension.)
2. Then, identify the exact color and status of the indicator by darkening the surrounding.
3. After that, log in to the interface of the repeater to see if the extended state is extended.
4. If you are sure that the extension is successful, you can keep the antenna upward and parallel with the antenna of the router; If not, please replace its angle.
5. You can put the repeater and router nearer, and identify if the indicator gets solid blue.

When an indicator shows red or no light

Other queries –

I can find someone else’s Wi-Fi signal, but I can’t find mine?
Here is the solution for this
1. Firstly, you have to check the signal strength that your mobile advice can get in a similar spot. (Maybe the signal in this place is poor)
2. Moreover, you should check if the encryption of the superior router is WEP. Only no encryption, WPA, WPA2, and mixed-mode can be supported by this repeater.
3. Whether the superior signal is hidden; (You can check this on your mobile.

Network is slow after extension

Austin Parker — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 16:05:10 +0000

Having issues if the network is slow after extension. In this article, we will teach you what to do if the network is slow after extension? We have a simple way to solve this issue. We will provide you with a better solution that you need to follow very carefully.

What to do if the network is slow after extension

Here is the solution to resolve this issue:

Firstly view the color of the indicator:
1. Solid blue: It indicates the signal strength received by the repeater is above -60db.
2. Solid red: Meanwhile the signal strength received by the repeater is above -61db~-74db. (The signal is a little bit weak. It is recommended to move the repeater nearer, and the repeater antenna is parallel to the router.)
3. No light: However, When no light the signal strength getting by the repeater is below -74db. (The signal is week. It is recommended to move the repeater nearer, and the repeater antenna is parallel to the router. )
4. in the other hand, when the signal strength that is getting by the repeater is between 40% and 79% (While the interface shows a signal with 2 bars), the repeater works better at this time.
5. Also Check the network speed when your device connects to the router directly at that position.

a. Moreover, when the network speed between the router and repeater is similar, it means the connection is good.
b. Most Importantly, When the network speed is quicker than that at the repeater, please check the following problems:
I. Firstly, check the placement of the repeater; avoid putting it in the corner;
II. Then, Check if the antenna of the repeater and router is paralleled, a paralleled antenna will be better for the connection.
III. Furthermore, if the above situation is excluded, kindly reset the repeater, and try it again.
IV. Moreover, reset the repeater.
