What is the BrosTrend WiFi Extender AC1200?

In simple words it is a WiFi booster. The BrosTrend extender takes your existing WiFi signal and repeats it, so places that were once dead zones get signals easily.

• You just plug it directly into a power outlet.
• There is no requirement of messy cables or bulky.
• It makes this easy to find a spot between your router and the dead zone.

Note: As it plugs into the wall, this is not to be plugged behind any furniture or places where it might get blocked.

WPS Easy Setup

• Press the WPS button on your main router.
• Then press the WPS button on the extender within a couple of minutes.

Note: It is to be noted that not every router supports WPS and some users avoid using WPS due to security concerns. But if your router does support it and you want the quickest setup, this is the way to go.

Set Up Manually

Sometimes WPS fails or you just want to be in full control. BrosTrend extender lets you set it up manually through a web interface.

• Connect your phone or laptop to the extender’s WiFi network which is usually named something like BrosTrend_EXT.
• Go to a browser and type the IP address in the address bar and it will take you to the setup page.
• Look, select, enter and save your existing WiFi network.
• Extender then connects to your main network and rebroadcasts the signal.

If you get stuck while performing this step, make sure:

• You are using the right WiFi password
• The extender should be within the range of your router (too far and it will not be able to catch the signal properly)
• Your device is connected to the extender’s network during setup.
