How to setup Tenda Range extender universal wireless N300,A9
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set up a Tenda N300 Universal Wireless Range Extender:
What You Need:
- A Tenda N300 wireless range extender
- Your main Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password
- A smartphone, tablet, or laptop with Wi-Fi
Setup Method 1: WPS Button (Fastest)
Use this if your router has a WPS button.
- Plug the Tenda N300 into a power outlet near your main router
- Wait for the Power LED to turn solid
- Press the WPS button on your router (usually for 2–3 seconds)
- Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the Tenda extender
- The Signal LED on the extender will blink and then become solid, indicating a successful connection
- Once connected, you can move the extender midway between your router and weak signal area.
Setup Method 2: Web Interface (Manual Setup)
Step 1: Connect to the Extender
- Plug in the extender near your router
- On your phone or laptop, connect to the Wi-Fi named something like:
Tenda_EXT or Tenda_XXXX
Step 2: Access Setup Page
- Open a browser and go to:
http://192.168.0.254
(or sometimes http://tendawifi.com)
Step 3: Start the Setup Wizard
- It will automatically scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks.
- Select your main Wi-Fi from the list.
- Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
Step 4: Set Extended Network Name
- Choose whether to keep the same SSID (recommended for seamless roaming)
or create a new one like YourNetwork_EXT.
Step 5: Finish Setup
- Save/apply the settings
- The extender will reboot and connect to your main Wi-Fi
- Move it to a location where the signal LED is green or yellow (not red — that’s too far).
Tips:
- Place the extender midway between your router and the dead zone
- Avoid placing it behind thick walls or metal objects
- If you lose connection, reset the extender using the reset hole (press with a pin for 10 seconds).
