Things that You Need Before Setup

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

• Your ASUS RT-AX3000 router
• A RangeXTD WiFi booster (plugged in)
• A Smartphone, tablet, or laptop with Wi-Fi
• Access to the RangeXTD setup page (via IP address 192.168.7.234)

Step 1: Plug in the RangeXTD Booster

• Find a power outlet near your ASUS router.
• Plug your RangeXTD booster into the outlet.
• Wait about 1-2 minutes for the booster to power up.
• The LED indicator will begin to blink, showing it’s ready for setup.

Step 2: Connect to the RangeXTD Network

• On your phone, tablet, or laptop, go to your Wi-Fi settings.
• Look for a network called something like “RangeXTD-Setup”.
• Tap to connect to this network.
• There may be no internet access during this step, that’s okay.

Step 3: Access the Setup Page (192.168.7.234)

• Open a web browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Edge).
• In the address bar, type 192.168.7.234 and press Enter.
• This will take you to the RangeXTD configuration page.
• If prompted, enter the default login credentials (usually admin for both username and password).

Step 4: Set RangeXTD to Repeater Mode

• Once logged in, you will see different setup options.
• Choose Repeater Mode (sometimes listed as “Wi-Fi Repeater”).
• The device will scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
• Wait for the list of nearby Wi-Fi signals to load.

Step 5: Connect to ASUS RT-AX3000 Router

• From the list, select your ASUS RT-AX3000 Wi-Fi network.
• Enter the password for your ASUS router (the same one you use to connect other devices).
• You can either keep the same network name (SSID) or set a different one for the booster.
• Click Connect or Save Settings.

The booster will now attempt to link with your ASUS router. This may take a minute or two.

Step 6: Reconnect to Your Network

• Once the RangeXTD has finished setting up, the LED will stop blinking and stay solid.
• Go back to your device’s Wi-Fi settings.
• You’ll now see a new network either with the same name as your router or something like YourNetwork_EXT.
• Connect to this network using the same password as your main router (unless you changed it during setup).

Step 7: Test the Connection

• Open a browser or app to confirm you’re online.
• Move to the area that previously had a weak signal.
• Check if your Wi-Fi strength has improved.
