Wifi extender for Smart-4G-Hub with SIM card

Minstrel · ‎04-01-2026

Hi, I'm the middle of moving from a static caravan to our renovated house. The internet works fine, but I can't get it to extend to the caravan. I bought a wi-fi extender but that doesn't work. Am I missing something?

I bought a 2025 Upgraded WiFi Extender Booster- Long Range WiFi Booster for 4000 Sq.ft Homes | WiFi Extender with 2 Antennas + 45 Devices & Ethernet Port, Home Wireless Signal Booster.

I've also got a TP-Link that I no longer use, but I've tried that too.

No idea, sorry. How do I find that out?

The instructions should tell you how to set it up in the various modes. The advert shows them. You do mean this: 2025 Upgraded WiFi Extender Booster- Long Range WiFi Booster for 4000 Sq.ft Homes | WiFi Extender wi... ?

Yes, that's the one. Which mode should I be using?

XRaySpeX · ‎04-01-2026

I'd probably try AP Mode 1st. Which did you try?

I honestly don't know the answer, I didn't realise there were options! I will take a look later and report back. Thank you

On the instructions it says "Press the WPS button on your main WiFi router (usually on the back or side)". I can't do that as the Smart-4G-Hub doesn't have a WPS button.
