Did you turn of all and power in order:
1. all off
2. router on (wait 3 min)
3. wifi on (wait 3 min)
4. power on device.

cell phones may need a wifi off/on, recycle or battery out. to aquire signal.

iPhones 5 and older sometimes need a power/home button hold until the apple shows and release.

How to setup wifiextender benefits of wifi range extender

<h1>Benefit</h1>

A WiFiextender increases the range a wireless signal travels from a router through a wired connection. Because WiFiextenders are wired, they provide stable, strong connection points to your network.

<h1>How To Setup Wifi Extender</h1>

Without WPS it may take a little longer to connect your wifi extender, but the idea is the same. First, you'll want to connect the end of your Ethernet cable, or Cat5 cable, into the Internet port on the extender and the other end into the Internet port on your wifi router.
If you've had the same internet setup for awhile and you didn't set it up yourself, don't panic. You can setup a wifi extender on your own. Can't remember what the Ethernet cable is? It's typically the blue cord.


The next step is to connect the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the extender and the other end into an Ethernet port on any computer that has a connection to your network. After you launch your web browser, type the IP address of the wifi extender into the address field (or address bar). This is when it's handy to hang onto the instructions as you will find the address in the manual.

After you have entered the extender's IP address, the configuration page will open, and you should click wireless settings, enter your wireless network name in the SSID box, and then save. Next, click on wireless security, select the security type (like WEP), type in the password, and then save. Keep in mind that your options may be different depending on your operating system, but if done correctly, you will have successfully setup your wifi extender.
After you unplug your Ethernet cords from the extender and router, you should plan on positioning your extender within an acceptable range from your router.

My friend gave me a windows embedded ce 6.0 netbook, how do I log in onto my wifi?

Select Connections from the tabs across the bottom. Select WiFi. Find your own wifi from the list of available networks (SSIDs) and select and hold it. Then select Connect. In the next screen, make sure The Internet is selected and click Next. On the Configure Network Authentication screen, make sure Authentication is set to Open and Data Encryption is Disabled and click Next. On the next screen, click Finish. This will bring you back to the Configure Wireless Networks screen. Wait a few moments while your phone connects. Once complete, the status will display as Connected. Click ok from the top right section of the screen then close the Settings window with the x in the top-right section of the screen. Once you've joined a WiFi network manually, your smartphone automatically joins it whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, your pc joins the one last used.
