A WiFi extender like the Macard is designed to boost your router's wireless coverage, especially in dead zones. However, if your Macard WiFi extender frequently drops its connection, you're likely facing a post-setup issue. Don’t worry — we’ve got a complete guide of troubleshooting steps to help you stabilize your connection.

Ensure a Stable Power Supply

One of the most common causes of intermittent connection issues in WiFi extenders, including the Macard model, is an unstable power supply. Here’s what you should check:

• Confirm that the extender is plugged into a properly functioning power outlet.

• Avoid using outlets that experience frequent power cuts.

• If power fluctuations are common in your area, consider connecting the extender to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to maintain consistent performance.

Fixes for Macard Extender Disconnecting from the Router

1. Check Ethernet Cable (If Wired Setup)
If your extender is connected to the router using an Ethernet cable:

• Inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage or wear.

• Replace the cable immediately if it has cuts or bends.

• Make sure the cable is securely connected to the correct ports on both the extender and the router.

2. WPS Connection Distance
When using WPS to connect your extender:

• Ensure the extender is within 20 to 50 feet of the router.

• Keep the devices in the same room during setup for better pairing success.

3. Relocate the Extender
Placement matters! For optimal performance:

• Position the extender halfway between your main router and the area with poor signal (dead zone).

• Keep the extender within 40 feet of the router.

• Avoid placing it near electronic devices or metal objects that can interfere with signal transmission.

Fixes for Macard Extender Disconnecting from Connected Devices

1. Reboot Your Network
Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix persistent disconnection issues:

• Unplug the Macard extender from the power source, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.

• Do the same with your main router to refresh the entire network.

2. Update Device Software
If only one specific device keeps disconnecting:

• Restart the device and check for any available software updates.

• If multiple devices are affected, log into the Macard extender admin panel and update its firmware.

Factory Reset the Macard WiFi Extender

If none of the above solutions work, resetting the extender to factory settings may help.

Steps to Reset:

1. Disconnect all devices connected to the extender.

2. Locate the reset button (a small pinhole) on the side panel.

3. Use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.

4. Release the button and wait for the extender to reboot.

5. Once reset is complete, set up the Macard WiFi extender from scratch.
