You can connect your portable router to Wi-Fi by using it as a Wi-Fi repeater or client mode. Here's how:
Using Your Portable Router as a Wi-Fi Repeater:
- Connect to the main Wi-Fi network: Plug your portable router into a power outlet and connect it to the main Wi-Fi network you want to extend using the router's web interface or mobile app.
- Configure the Wi-Fi settings: Set up a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for your portable router. This will be the network name your devices will connect to.
- Enjoy extended Wi-Fi: Your portable router will now act as a repeater, extending the range of your main Wi-Fi network.
Using Your Portable Router in Client Mode:
- Connect to the main Wi-Fi network: Connect your portable router to the main Wi-Fi network using the router's web interface or mobile app.
- Enable client mode: Some portable routers have a dedicated "client mode" setting. Enable this option.
- Create a new Wi-Fi network: Configure a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for your portable router. This will be the network name your devices will connect to.
- Connect your devices: Your devices will now connect to your portable router's new Wi-Fi network, allowing you to use the internet even if you're not near your main router.
Note: The exact steps may vary depending on your specific portable router model. Consult your router's user manual for detailed instructions.
