This will lead you to a page where you will confirm the successful installation of your Rockspace Wi-Fi extender.

The WPS Method

Plugin your Rockspace extender into a functioning electrical source.

Flip your router over to reveal its WPS button and click on it. If you can’t find the WPS button at the back of your router, check for it on the other sides of the router.

Also, locate the WPS button on your Rock space. It is usually at the front side of your Rock space extender. Press it and wait till the power light stabilizes.

Extra Tips for a Successful Rock Space WiFi Extender Setup

Make sure that your router and Rock space extender are within range. They must not be too far from each other to get the best of your wireless extender.

Ensure that the power source that you are connecting your extender to works properly.

You should position the wireless extender at a safe distance from devices that can interfere with the network connectivity. Devices like baby monitors, fluorescent bulbs, or TVs emit electromagnetic rays that can interfere with the connection of your extender.

Have the login details to your Rockspace wireless extender. The default username and password come with the extender. Check beneath the extender or on the box, it comes in. Also, if you changed the password, use the new password instead.

In case you notice any other light apart from the solid blue power light, reset your extender. You can reset it by locating and pressing the reset button on your extender, holding it down for a few seconds to enable the factory reset mode.

You can use a needle or a sim ejector pin to press the reset button. Also note that after a successful factory resetting of the extender, you need to set up your extender all over again.

Ensure that your ethernet cables are working and properly connect them to your devices.
