It's IP conflict in the router, try converting your extender to static IP, it works for me and I never disconnect again

[@enashimo]

how do you do that on this specific extender?

[@kimjoshuatacsagon1564]

@@enashimo Try to set on the main router like 192.168.1.50 to your computer the one affected it. IP must far enough that you can able to access the computer at the same time able to access it. Xiaomi Mi Repeater doesn't have option for static IP setup so do in your computer or in router. You can search in the website on setting static router in your PC or in phones. Most high quality WIFI repeaters like TP-Link AX1500 Wi-Fi Range Extender cost less than 5000 pesos have this static IP configuration and setup or just buy WIFI mesh system, PLDT offer this but expensive.

[@gadgetsLZ]

What's up! Thank you for watching all the way from Portugal. Unfortunately this will vary since it would depend on your main router's signal. Initially set it up near the router then plug it somewhere between the main router and the WiFi weak spots. The Mi Home app will indicate how good the signal is based on where you will plug the Repeater Pro so you can adjust the location. I hope this helps. Cheers.

[@mfkofficial1872]

What is used in this device... Sim card or anything else

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

You'll need to clarify where you put the repeater at. Is it near your router? Then that means your router is the real problem. It's signal is weak. Others might have a good router but with the wrong placement of the repeater, it will still not work.

[@kohmak]

Bought this some time ago but never got it to work. Downloaded the App but never got past the log in page. Asks for phone number or email and verification code or password. No mention of where to get either a verification code or password. Tried my router password and my yahoo password but no use. Nothing in this video to explain how to register on the app.

Hello thanks for the grat video. How far can someone use it. Like if i plug it in power about 10-15m from my WiFi will it works? Also how far from this extender does it send the signal? So thay is i can use it 10-15m from my router and it extends the WiFi to 10-15m from it that means that i can have net 30m from my WiFi router. Is that correct? Or it can send the signal father mad if so.. how far?

[@defnotatroll]

That defeats the point
