Let\u2019s Fix It!<\/strong>"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Ap.setup is the default URL of the Wavlink range extender that one needs to access in order to reach the web-management utility. However, recently, many users have claimed that the ap.setup web address has stopped working after the Wavlink firmware update<\/a><\/strong>. There can be plenty of reasons leading you to the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we will share not only the reasons behind the ap.setup not working issue but also the troubleshooting techniques to get the problem fixed. So, let\u2019s get the ball rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fixed: Ap.Setup Not Working Firmware Update<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Use the Location Bar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, you are not entering ap.setup into the correct destination. What we mean is that you might have entered the default web address into the search box, Know that using the search box for accessing a web address is not a good idea at all. The reason being you won\u2019t get any result but a list of options that has nothing to do with the Wavlink WiFi extender setup window. So, use the location or address bar only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the correct location, you have to take care of the web address entr\u00e9e. FYI, the default web address can\u2019t be altered. So, avoid hurrying and act patiently while accessing ap.setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Reboot the Wavlink Extender<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Technical glitches can also be holding you back from accessing ap.setup after updating the firmware. So, get rid of them to solve the problem you are facing. Technical glitches can be fixed by the simplest hack. Confused? Well, the hack is rebooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of rebooting involves switching off the power supply to the Wavlink extender and switching it on after a short period. Once your Wavlink device gets rebooted, try to access ap.setup again and see if you get success this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Check for Signal Interference<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You might also be unable to access ap.setup the firmware update process if there is any signal interference-creating factor present near your Wavlink extender. Chances are that you have placed a Bluetooth speaker or baby monitor in the room where you have placed your Wavlink range extender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, without any delay, remove devices like microwave ovens, televisions, treadmills, etc from the surrounding of WiFi extender. Mirrors and metal objects also count as the WiFi-interference-creating factors. Now, try to access ap.setup and see whether the Wavlink WiFi extender login<\/a><\/strong> page appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Examine the Connection Source<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At times, ap.setup also refused to connect due to a weak extender-router connection. It happens when the distance separating these two WiFi devices is higher in magnitude. In that case, you need to pull up your WiFi devices a little closer. But, bear in mind not to reduce the distance to minimal as it can put the WiFi signals of your devices in a battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also have a great choice of connecting your WiFi devices using a cable. The paramount condition is that the cable used must be free of cuts and is tightly connected to the extender and router ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Reset the Extender<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you are still failing to access ap.setup after following the steps discussed above, then the reason behind the issue might be the uploading of an incorrect firmware file. Thus, the last resort you have left with is to go for the factory default reset process. It will restore your WiFi device back to the default factory configuration. In other words, every customized setting from your WiFi extender will lose its effect and return to the default one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your extender resets to the default mode, do Wavlink extender setup<\/a> <\/strong>via ap.setup. This time you\u2019ll surely get success in resolving the problem you were struggling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
