To start with BrosTrend AX3000 WiFi 6 extender setup we will need a working router at home or office first. So, for that first make sure your router is working and all setup. Next, we will need to plug the Brostrend Ax3000 extender in the same room as the router. And wait for its power led on the front to start blinking red. 

Now there are two methods to set Brostrend ax3000 first is via WPS and second is via Browser. We will learn both the methods here. In WPS setup you will need to have physical access to the router as you will have to press the WPS button on the router. So, this method is not suitable for people living in apartments, who are using common WiFi.

You can opt for browser setup and then extend your WiFi range. Moreover after the setup the led on the front of the extender will guide you about the signal strength that it receives from the router and accordingly you can find the right place to plug the extender.

Wired
