Setting Up Mi Repeater with non-Mi Routers
- Connect the WiFi Repeater to a power source. You can plug it into a USB port on a PC, a power bank or even a USB wall charger. When powered, the repeater’s LED will start blinking in orange color.
- Download and install the Mi Home app on your Android smartphone.The app is not available on the Play Store so download the APK from HERE or Click >> (https://goo.gl/SQE4zv) and install it to your Android phone.
- Launch the Mi Home app and ignore any update notification that pops up. Do not update the app.
- Tap on the + (Plus) sign at the top right.
- Select other smart devices6f5c.
- At this point, you’ll be asked to login to your Mi account. Sign in if you already have one, else create a new account and sign in.
- Tap Next on the Find Other smart devices screen.
- Select the WiFi connection which you want to extend using the repeater and input the password for the same.
- Wait for Mi Home app to configure the WiFi Repeater to connect and extend your WiFi network. The LED light on the repeater will change from orange to blue indicating a successful setup.
- If the Mi Home app throws an error during setup but your repeater has a blue LED already, you can simply ignore the error. The repeater will work fine :)
- The SSID for your extended network would have your original network’s SSID followed by _plus. The password for the network will remain same as your original.
