NEW! How To Fix Macard WiFi Extender Blinking Blue Light After Restart | Quick Troubleshooting Guide

Understanding the Blinking Blue Light on Your Mard Wi-Fi Extender

If you’ve recently reset your Mard Wi-Fi extender and are noticing a blinking blue light, you’re likely in setup mode, which indicates it’s not yet connected to your main Wi-Fi network. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue, step by step.

What Does a Blinking Blue Light Mean?

A blinking blue light on your Mard Wi-Fi extender signifies:

• The extender has been reset to factory settings.
• It’s currently in WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) mode or setup mode.
• It has not yet established a connection to your router.

There can be several reasons why this is happening, but let’s focus on the solutions.

WPS Setup Method

Step 1: Power Up the Extender

Begin by plugging your Mard Wi-Fi extender into a power outlet that’s close to your router. Wait for the blinking blue light to appear.

Step 2: Activate WPS Mode on Your Router

Press the WPS button on your router. This button is usually labeled and is necessary for establishing a connection with the extender.

Step 3: Connect the Extender

Within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router, press the WPS button on the Mard extender. If the connection is successful, the blue light should turn solid.

Step 4: Position Your Extender

Once connected, move the extender to a location that is approximately halfway between your router and the area with weak Wi-Fi coverage.

Step 5: Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues

If the blue light continues to blink for several minutes, it may indicate a failure to connect. In this case, we recommend the manual setup method.

Manual Setup Method Via Browser

Step 1: Connect to the Extender

Connect your device—either a phone or laptop—to the extender’s Wi-Fi signal (typically named something like Mard Extension).

Step 2: Access the Setup Interface

Open a web browser and enter the URL provided in the setup instructions or in the video guide you’re following.

Step 3: Log In to the Extender

Log in using the default username and password. Usually, the username is "admin," but you might want to check the label on the device for confirmation.

Step 4: Follow the Setup Wizard

• Step 4A: Choose your home Wi-Fi network from the list that appears.
• Enter your Wi-Fi password to complete the setup.

Once the connection is established, the blue light on your extender should become solid, indicating that it is successfully connected.

Conclusion

Following these steps should resolve the issue with your Mard Wi-Fi extender. If you’ve followed the instructions and still encounter problems, consider checking the alignment of your devices or contacting customer support.
