Wi-Fi Extender function

The Wi-Fi Extender function of the Mobile WiFi allows it to connect to another Wi-Fi hotspot to expand the coverage of that Wi-Fi hotspot and saves data consumption on your SIM card.

  1. Connect your phone to the Mobile WiFi.
  2. Enter 192.168.8.1 in the address bar of the phone's browser, and enter the login password of the web-based management page to log in.
  3. Go to Network Settings > Wi-Fi Extender > Wi-Fi Extender Settings, and enable the switch. Select the desired Wi-Fi hotspot and enter the password to connect to it.

After the Wi-Fi Extender function is enabled and the Mobile WiFi is successfully connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, the Wi-Fi name and password of the Mobile WiFi remain unchanged. Your SIM card will no longer consume mobile data.

If you need to use the Wi-Fi Extender function for a long time, it is advised that you disable the Wi-Fi automatic sleep function to prevent the Wi-Fi network of the Mobile WiFi from being automatically disabled in Power saving mode.

 
  1. Wi-Fi Extender is different from Wi-Fi relay. Wi-Fi Extender does not support synchronization of the Wi-Fi name and password of the upstream router, and the IP address of the connected Internet access device is allocated by the Mobile WiFi. However, the Wi-Fi relay mode synchronizes the Wi-Fi name and password of the upstream router, and the IP address of the connected Internet access device is allocated by the upstream router.
  2. Mobile WiFi products support only Wi-Fi channels 5–13. During Wi-Fi extension, Wi-Fi channels 1–4 cannot be found.
