If you want to configure your WiFi extender using the web graphical user interface, you should walk through the instructions given below. For your information, the extender’s web GUI can be accessed on any WiFi-enabled device such a mobile phone, laptop, or computer. Here’s how you can complete BrosTrend WiFi extender setup:
- Plug your BrosTrend extender into the same room as your main router.
- Once done, switch on the extender and let its PWR LED go solid blue.
- Connect your device (laptop, PC, or mobile phone) to the BrosTrend_EXT network.
- In case, you are using a mobile phone, you should disable cellular data.

- Press Enter.
- The next screen will prompt you to create a login password for your BrosTrend device.
- You should now select the WiFi network that you want to extend. It must be your router’s SSID.

In this manner, you can set up a BrosTrend WiFi extender using its web GUI. However, if the setup process fails, ensure that you have selected the correct network to be extended and that you are entering the correct WiFi password.
It doesn’t matter which method you choose to set up the range extender, you have to relocate it in the last. For optimal performance, we recommend you keep the BrosTrend extender halfway between your router and the internet dead zone. Also, ensure that you are not keeping the WiFi extender in an area filled with WiFi signal interference.
Note: The extended network name will have _EXT/5GEXT as suffix to your existing network name. However, the WiFi password will be as same as your main router.
