Having issue with uncles router [FOUND THE PROBLEM BUT STILL NEED THE SOLUTION]

[beachbum111111]

Okay so my uncle lives in a pretty big house (2,500 square feet not including basement) and the house is old with the walls being plaster so the wifi connection in the house is abhorrent on different floors. So we decided to get different wifi extenders to increase the wifi range. The extender work but the problem is they are connecting to the wrong wifi network, my uncle has two networks on the same router (3 if you count 5g). One of them is for his security system and the other for general use. The connectors are connecting to the security one because it is the one bound to the WPS button. When I go into the router settings however the network I want the connectors to go off of isn't there. The network is called "mysterio"




Anyone have suggestions on how to find this missing network? The Router is a Hitron CGNM-2250

Did you try turning it off and on again?

There might be some sort of password hiding advanced settings? Look around for some sort of admin access

Yes

I'm signed in as an admin. If you mean password for the other networks I cut them off in the screenshots on purpose

Okay so apparently this loving iTumour is what Myserio is being made through, which explains why I couldn't find it in the wifi networks


The problem I have now is how do i bind it to the WPN button so that the wifi extenders connect to Mysterio instead of the Shaw one?

idk about signal repeaters but maybe a few other tips can help

first thing to note is that wifi doesn't travel through objects well. Position your router so furniture and walls are less of an obstacle.



secondly 2.4ghz travels further than 5ghz so use that.

The last thing I can recommend is using an app like Wifi brown townyzer to see which wifi channel is the least crowded in your area. I don't see any other helpful options in that menu.

I appreciate the suggestions but the house itself is the problem in that case. This is a 3 story house built in the 20s. Thats why we bought the extenders. One for each floor.
