- Firstly, Unplugged the extender and bring it closer to the router.
- If still, it is not showing up in the wifi list shut down your devices and turn them back again.
- Try removing/forgetting the known wifi connections.
- If you have to cover long distances you should opt for hardwire option, you won’t lose any data speed plus you will be able to cover more distance.
