To connect Setek WiFi extender with D-Link router, you can use two methods – the WPS method or the web-based method. But, that won’t be possible if your extender isn’t working on the factory default settings. Walk through this blog and learn how to link two devices accurately in easy steps.

How to Connect Setek WiFi Extender with D-Link Router?

1. Connection via WPS

To connect Setek WiFi extender to D-Link router with the help of WPS method, you should follow these steps:

• Restart the D-Link router and plug the extender into the same room.
• Switch on the Setek extender.
• When the Power light becomes solid, you should find and press the extender’s WPS button.
• Within 2 minutes, you should hit the WPS button of the router.
• Let the devices get connected.
• If your extender and router support dual-band frequency, press the WPS buttons again.

2. Connection with a Web Browser

In order to connect a D-Link router and the Setek WiFi range extender using a web browser, you will have to use the router’s WiFi password. Apart from this, you will require the IP address of the extender along with its default admin details.

After gathering all the essential details, you should load an internet browser on your PC after connecting it to the Setek extender WiFi network. For your information, Setek extender does not have a WiFi password by default. Into the address bar of the browser, type 192.168.10.1 IP and choose the network that you want to extend. In this case, it will be the D-Link router network. Enter the WiFi password. The connection will be completed.

As soon as your devices connect, the Setek extender will start broadcasting a new SSID which will be as same as the SSID of the D-Link router. Also, the WiFi password will match with that of the D-Link router. To secure the home network, we suggest you assigning an admin password to the range extender.
