How to setup Wavlink Aerial HD4 Outdoor Extender?

An existing Wi-Fi network can have its coverage and power increased by using a range extender, such the Wavlink HD4 outdoor Extender Setup AC1200. It serves as a bridge between your router and gadgets placed in places where Wi-Fi signals are poor. The wireless signal from your router is picked up by the range extender and transmitted again, expanding the network's coverage to previously unreachable places.

You connect your PC or mobile device to the range extender's network during Wavlink HD4 outdoor Extender Setup AC1200 and use a web browser to view the configuration interface. You can connect the range extender to your current Wi-Fi network using this interface, change settings, and personalize features to enhance the functionality of the extended network.
