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](http://192.168.0.254) 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.
