How to Link BrosTrend Extender to Xfinity Router?

Linking a BrosTrend WiFi Extender to your Xfinity router is a great way to boost your internet coverage, especially in multi-story homes. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to successfully set up and link your BrosTrend extender to your Xfinity router.

Ensure Xfinity Router Settings

Before starting the BrosTrend setup, it’s important to check your Xfinity router settings:

1. Connect a Computer to the Router: Use an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi to connect your computer to the Xfinity router.

2. Open Web Browser: Open your updated web browser and type the router’s default IP address in the address bar:
   10.0.0.1

3. Login to the Xfinity Interface:

   • You will be directed to the login page of the Xfinity router.

   • Enter the username and password (usually located on the router’s label).

   • Press Enter to access the router’s settings page.

4. Check Router Settings: Once logged in, review the router settings to ensure everything is working correctly before proceeding to link the BrosTrend WiFi extender.

Connect Extender to Router

Now, let's connect your BrosTrend WiFi Extender to your Xfinity router.

1. Power the Extender:
   The BrosTrend extender doesn't come with a power cord or adapter, so you simply need to plug it directly into a power socket near your Xfinity router.

2. Use WPS to Connect:

   • Both the Xfinity router and BrosTrend WiFi extender have a WPS button (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

   • Press the WPS button on both devices (router and extender) once.

   • Wait for a few minutes as the devices will automatically connect to each other.

   Once the connection is made, the devices should be linked by default settings, and the extender will work to amplify your Wi-Fi signal.

Log in to Extender Interface

To configure and manage your BrosTrend setup, you need to access the extender’s web interface. There are two methods to do this:

Method 1: Using the Default IP Address

1. Connect the Computer to the Extender Network:
   First, connect your computer or laptop to the BrosTrend WiFi extender's network.

2. Enter Default IP Address:

   • Open your browser and type 192.168.0.254 in the address bar.

   • This will take you to the login page for the BrosTrend extender.

3. Log in to the Extender Interface:

   • Enter the admin username and password (which can be found on the extender’s label or in the user manual).

   • You will now have access to the BrosTrend setup page to configure your Wi-Fi settings.

Method 2: Using the URL

Alternatively, you can access the extender’s dashboard via the URL:
brosstrend.com

• Open a browser and type the URL in the address bar.

• Log in with the default admin username and password.

• Once logged in, you can proceed to set up your BrosTrend WiFi extender settings.

Conclusion

Linking your BrosTrend WiFi Extender to an Xfinity router is an easy process using the WPS method. After setting up, you can configure the extender through the web interface using the default IP address or URL. This will help boost your Wi-Fi signal across your home, especially in larger or multi-story environments. With the BrosTrend setup complete, you can enjoy enhanced internet coverage in every corner of your house.
