Product Introduction The extender supports both wireless and wired extension. If you have Ethernet cables deployed in your home, it is recommended to use the AP Mode. Otherwise, opt for the Wireless Extension. Choose the extension type as required, and refer to the following section for configuration. Wireless Extension AP Mode Wireless Extension 1. Select the extender location Place the extender midway between the router and the Wi-Fi dead zone to ensure stable signal reception and effective area coverage. Quick Installation Guide Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender A33 Extension Type The extender connects to the upstream router through Wi-Fi and extends the router's Wi-Fi coverage. The extender connects to the upstream router through an Ethernet cable and converts the router's wired network to Wi-Fi. Scenario Rooms requiring Wi-Fi coverage without Ethernet cables deployed. Rooms requiring Wi-Fi coverage with Ethernet cables deployed. 1. It is recommended to select 5 GHz Wi-Fi for extension, achieving better experience. 2. After successful wireless extension, the dead zone will be covered by Wi-Fi, and the Ethernet port can be used to provide wired network access for devices such as set-top boxes, computers, and TVs. After successful wired extension, high-speed and stable Wi-Fi network access can be provided for smartphones, tablets, and smart devices. T E S E R

Tips Dual-band extension is supported: If the main router provides dual-band Wi-Fi, you can select either band to extend (5 GHz is recommended). The extender will automatically use the same Wi-Fi password to extend the other band. Enter the Wi-Fi password of the router, and tap Next. Set the Wi-Fi name, Wi-Fi password and management password of the extender as required. If nothing changes, tap Next. Method 3: Via WPS Button Tips Ensure that the router has a WPS button and is using WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK, or WPA3-SAE/
WPA2-PSK encryption. The WPS design may differ with different manufacturers. If this method fails, use another method to configure. The extender can form a Mesh network with Tenda Wi-Fi+ Mesh or EasyMesh-compatible routers. 1 Press the WPS button of the router for about 1 to 3 seconds to enable WPS function. Wired Extension Ensure Ethernet cables are installed in areas where Wi-Fi coverage is needed and internet access is available. For in-wall wiring, use the included Ethernet cable. 1 Internet T E S E R

The extender's default Wi-Fi name is Tenda_EXT. After extension:
A: Wireless extension: After extension, the extender may use the same Wi-Fi name as the upstream router, or Router Wi-Fi Name_EXT (or _5G_EXT). B: Mesh Networking: After a successful Mesh setup, the extender uses the same Wi-Fi name as the upstream router.
*The extender can form a Mesh network with Tenda Wi-Fi+ Mesh or EasyMesh-compatible routers, automatically syncing the Wi-Fi name and password. Q2. Slow speeds when using the extender's Wi-Fi The extender may be improperly positioned. If placed too far from the dead zone, the extender's Wi-Fi cannot cover the area, leaving no signal in the dead zone. If placed too far from the router, the extender cannot receive a stable Wi-Fi signal to extend. Reposition the extender midway between the router and the dead zone for optimal performance.

Visit http://re.tenda.cn in your browser. If you are using a smartphone, ensure that mobile data is disabled. Clear browser cache. If the problem persists, try the following solutions:
Before extension:
If you are using a wireless device, such as a smartphone, ensure that your smartphone is connected to the Wi-Fi of the extender:
Tenda_EXT. If you are using a wired device, such as a computer, ensure that your computer is set to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Reset the extender and log in again. After extension:
If you are using a wireless device, ensure that your device is connected to the Wi-Fi of the extender. If the Wi-Fi name of the extender is the same as the upstream router, stand near the extender and connect to its Wi-Fi (the extender should not be too close to the router, or temporarily power off the router). If you are using a wired device, such as a computer, ensure that your computer is set to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Q5. After wireless extension (the indicator is solid on), speeds through the extender may be lower than when connected directly to the router Some speed loss is normal due to signal attenuation and does not affect normal use. To maximize the extension effect, ensure that the extender indicator stays solid green, and reduce obstacles between the extender and the router. If your home has Ethernet wiring, switch to wired extension by connecting the extender to the router using an Ethernet cable. Q6. Mesh networking failed For wireless setup, place the extender closer to the router (within 5 meters and no thick walls in between), then try again. The extender supports networking with EasyMesh-compatible routers across different brands. If networking fails, the upstream device may not fully support the standard EasyMesh protocol. A: If you can access the internet through the extender Wi-Fi
(Tenda_EXT), connect to it and access the extender management page. Then follow the setup wizard to change the Wi-Fi name and password. B: If the internet connection is unavailable, restore the extender to factory settings and access the management page. Then set up wireless extension mode again as described in Method 1. Q4. How to switch modes after Mesh networking Q7. How to orient the extender Restore the extender to factory settings first, then set it up again.
*If an Ethernet cable is connected, unplug it before resetting the extender to factory settings. For large single-floor homes: Install the extender into a wall outlet and keep it upright to the floor. For multi-floor homes: Install the extender into a horizontally placed power strip and keep it parallel to the floor. Q8. After wireless extension, the extender indicator stays solid yellow When extending 5 GHz Wi-Fi, move the extender closer to the router until the indicator turns solid green. When extending only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the indicator may stay solid yellow even near the router. This is expected. Q9. Unable to find the 5 GHz enhanced roaming Wi-Fi If your phone cannot find the extended 5 GHz Wi-Fi after setup, it may be because you are too far from the extender or there are too many walls in between. Try moving the extender closer to the area with weak Wi-Fi signal and ensure the indicator stays solid green. If the extender cannot be moved, use the extenders 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for internet access instead. Q10. How to reset the extender When the extender completes startup, press the RESET button for about 8 seconds. When the indicator blinks red fast, the extender is restored to factory settings.
