NEW! Uppoon WiFi Extender Setup,Reset and Installation 2025 Easy Uppoon Extender Guide for Beginners

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Upon Wi-Fi Extender

Boosting your existing Wi-Fi network’s range has never been easier with the Upon Wi-Fi extender. Follow this detailed guide to set it up easily.

Step 1: Plug in the Extender

Start by plugging the Upon extender into a wall outlet located near your Wi-Fi router. Wait for the power light to turn solid, while the Wi-Fi light will begin blinking. This indicates that the extender is ready for setup.

Step 2: WPS Setup (If Supported)

If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), this method is a quick way to connect the extender:

1. Press the WPS Button on Your Router: Locate and press the WPS button on your router.
2. Activate WPS on the Extender: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on the Upon extender.
3. Connection Confirmation: The signal LED on the extender will turn solid once it is successfully connected. The extender will create a new network with a name similar to your original Wi-Fi (e.g., "YourWiFiName_extender").
4. Relocate the Extender: You can now unplug the extender and move it to a more optimal location.

Step 3: Manual Setup via Browser (If WPS is Unavailable)

If your router doesn’t support WPS or the process didn’t work, you can manually set up the extender using a browser:

1. Plug in the Extender: Again, ensure it’s powered on.
2. Connect to the Extender’s Wi-Fi: Look for a network typically named "pawn" or something similar and connect to it.
3. Open a Browser: Navigate to the setup website shown on your screen.
4. Login: Enter ‘admin’ as the username and provide the password as prompted.
5. Follow the Setup Wizard:
   • Select your main Wi-Fi network.
   • Enter your Wi-Fi password.
   • Choose a name for the extended network or stick with the default option.
6. Apply Settings: Click ‘Apply.’ The extender will reboot and reconnect to your main Wi-Fi network.

Step 4: Reset the Extender if Necessary

If you encounter issues, you might need to factory reset your Upon extender:

1. Locate the Reset Button: Usually found in a pinhole on the extender.
2. Press and Hold: Use a pin to press and hold this button for approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Wait for LED Feedback: Watch for the LEDs to flash, indicating a successful reset.

Step 5: Optimal Placement of the Extender

To achieve the best performance, position the extender:

• Location: Place it halfway between your router and the area with weak Wi-Fi signal.
• Signal Strength: Ensure it receives at least 15% of the signal from the router. A green or blue LED indicator indicates a good connection, while red or no light suggests it’s too far from the router.

Step 6: Connect Devices to the Extended Network

Finally, connect your devices to the new Wi-Fi extension:

• Use any device: Connect your smartphone, laptop, or smart devices to the newly created extended network.
