In this guide, we have provided you with step-by-step instructions on how to set up the BrosTrend AC1200 WIFI extender using WPS and Re.brostrend.com. Both methods are easy to follow and should take only a few minutes to complete. By extending your Wi-Fi coverage, you can enjoy better connectivity throughout your home or office.
Plug the extender into a power outlet near your router. Connect your phone or computer to the extender’s default WiFi network, then open a browser and visit brostrendwifi.com or 192.168.0.254. Follow the setup wizard to select your router’s WiFi network and enter its password. After setup is complete, move the extender closer to the area with weak WiFi coverage.
Yes. Press the WPS button on your router, then press the WPS button on the Brostrend extender within two minutes. Wait for the connection LED to turn solid. Once paired, connect your devices to the extended WiFi network and test the connection in the area where coverage was weak.
Place the extender halfway between your router and the area with weak WiFi. It should still receive a strong signal from the router. Keep it away from microwaves, cordless phones, metal cabinets, large mirrors, thick walls, and other sources of interference. Avoid placing it inside cabinets or behind large furniture.
Keep the extender powered on, then press and hold the recessed Reset button with a paperclip for about 10–15 seconds. Release the button when the LED starts blinking or changes color. Wait several minutes for the extender to reboot. The saved WiFi settings will be erased, so you must set it up again using brostrendwifi.com or 192.168.0.254.
