WiFi Extender Firmware Update Failed: Do This Now
The firmware on your Setek extender can be updated in two ways. In the first method, you log in to your extender and look for firmware updates and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update.
The second is the manual method. In the manual method, you first download the firmware file on your computer and then access the Setek WiFi extender setup page to install the firmware file. We recommend you use the manual method. The chances of Setek WiFi extender firmware failure are lesser in the manual method. But here are a few tips and tricks that you must follow to update your extender without getting stuck.
1. Ensure a Stable Internet Connection
You must be aware of the fact that the firmware update process should not be interrupted. If you do, there are chances that the process fails and the extender is rendered useless. To avoid firmware from getting corrupted, you should ensure that you are not doing anything that halts the update. One reason why this happens is an unstable internet connection. Thus, you should make very certain that the internet connection is stable during the update.
Make sure you connect Setek WiFi extender to router in a proper manner. Fix the connection if you find it faulty. Also, check the internet speed. Get in touch with your ISP to fix any internet related issues and then update your extender.
2. Supply Sufficient Power
One more reason why the firmware update on your extender may get affected is an inadequate power supply. You should thus verify the same and ensure that your extender as well as root router are receiving consistent power though out the process.
3. Download the Right File
When you manually update your extender, you first download the firmware file on your PC. The firmware file varies for different extender models. We insist that the file is not the same for all extender models. If you have downloaded a file that’s not meant for your extender then you will fail to update your extender.
We suggest you download the file once again by entering the right model number. Use only the official web page for firmware download. Once done, install the firmware on your extender by logging in.
4. Reset the Extender
By any chance the firmware update still failed then you should reset the extender. If you have bricked your extender with multiple attempts to update it and it no longer works then reset it to the factory settings. Use the IP 192.168.10.1 to log in and reconfigure it. Once done you should try to update its firmware.
The Closing Note
So this is the workaround that you should follow if you are stuck with Setek WiFi extender firmware update failure. We expect that you can now get your extender updated without any obstructions.
