Connecting to an extender
I have a laptop that I use just 2 feet from an extender. But it never connects to the extender. When I look on Smart Home Manager, only 2 wifi devices connect to the extender and many other devices are closer to the extender. Is there a way to force other devices to go through the extender?
I don’t see the extender in the wifi settings of those devices.
Suggestions??

Hey @HaroldS427,
We are here to help with your Wi-Fi extender inquiry. How far is is the extender from the router? What are the light status' on your extender?
There are no way to force where the device to connect to the extender. Your devices will find the strongest Wi-Fi signal and connect to it. Here are some ways to maximize your Wi-Fi speeds.
Let us know if this helps.
