It is possible to configure WiFi extenders to operate as access points. Your wifi extender’s ability to expand wifi networks by connecting to the router or switching through a wire is made possible by the access point. It permits a minimal performance degradation or connection loss. Access Point mode is advised if you want to enjoy fast wifi.

Here, we’ll go through how to configure your wifi extender to function as an access point.

Note: Before beginning the setup procedure, confirm that you have:

• Dependable wi-fi connectivity
• Your wifi password and username.
• A long enough Ethernet wire to link the router and a wifi extension.

Once you’re ready, take the directions specified below:

• Connect the wifi extender to a power outlet.
• Attach the Ethernet connection from your router to the extender, and then wait until the light turns solid green.
• Next, link the WiFi to the SSID of the WiFi Extender.
• Open a browser from the computer or other device connected to the router’s network.
• A window for logging in will appear. Then, use the username and password to enter the account.
• The dashboard or home page will appear after you log in.
• Choose Wireless AP under Advanced->Advanced Setup.
• Now, select AP mode.

Note: Choose wisely because specific models may utilize alternative menu titles, such as Bridge Mode/AP/Router.

• The options to choose this AP’s IP address settings display. The default address of the router is preferred.
• Select “Apply.”

That’s all for the procedure for the access point mode. Now, it is active on your wifi extender.
