Amped WiFi Extender Losing Speed? Here’s How to Fix It!

Although Amped extenders are known to satisfy the internet needs of millions with their astonishing delivery speed, however, they do lag sometimes. There are various reasons that lead a user to this problem. If you have also done Ampedwireless setup and are looking for a solution to get the problem fixed, read this troubleshooting guide.

Fixed: Amped WiFi Extender Losing Speed

Fix 1: Change the Extender’s Location

The very first reason that is making your Amped extender lose speed might be its improper placement. By improper placement, we mean to say that your range extender is placed in a WiFi interference zone. In other words, the signals of your range extender are getting interrupted in their actual paths.

Thus, consider changing the location of your Amped WiFi extender. But, this time make sure that your device is not surrounded by transmitting appliances, reflexive surfaces, objects containing huge amounts of water, and metal objects. Besides, consider giving your device a central location in your house.

Fix 2: Check the Ethernet Cable

Chances are that your Amped extender is losing connection because the Ethernet cable connecting your devices is damaged. So, spare some time and check if what we are saying is true or not. If yes, then consider buying a new Ethernet cable.

Additionally, you need to ensure that the Ethernet connection is not loose. FYI, a loose Ethernet connection is also a possible reason that forces the Amped wireless extender to lose speed. Moreover, make sure that the Ethernet ports of your extender as well as the host router are neat and clean.

Fix 3: Reduce the Extender-Router Distance

At times, users place their Amped range extender and the main router at too much distance thereby making it difficult for them to communicate properly. Have you also placed your wireless devices in two different corners of your home? If yes, then you’ve made a mistake.

Therefore, rectify your mistake by pulling up your WiFi devices a little closer. And, a little closer means that you cannot place your devices too close. Doing so might result in a clash of your device’s wireless signals.

Fix 4: Update the Firmware

Do you regularly update the firmware of your Amped wireless range extender? Probably not. Otherwise, your extender might not be losing speed every now and then. Know that the firmware of your Amped extender determines how your device will work. So, you need to keep it updated at all costs. Walk through the below-mentioned guidelines to update the firmware of your Amped extender via setup.ampedwireless.com.

• Ensure that your extender is properly connected to the main AP or router.

• Now, visit setup.ampedwireless.com on an upgraded internet browser.

• When prompted to login, enter the password and username of your Amped device and click Log in.

• The dashboard of your Amped extender will appear where you have to select Upgrade Firmware.

• Thereafter, click the Check Now button and follow what on-screen instructions suggest.

In this manner, you can install the latest firmware version on your Amped wireless extender and fix the problem that is troubling you. However, you can also update your extender’s firmware manually. For this, you need to download the firmware file separately and upload it to the dashboard of the extender.

Fix 5: Avoid Overheating of the Extender

We agree that your Amped extender is capable of working 24 hours a day. But, do you really need an internet connection 24/7? Of course not! Then, why are you letting your extender overheat? Being a technical device, it dissipates heat. However, excessive heat dissipation is uncommon and you need to take care of it.

Thus, avoid overheating as much as you can. Your extender should be kept off when not required. Also, consider placing it in a well-ventilated room that will ensure proper flow of air.

Final Words

That’s all that we had to say when your extender keeps losing connection. We hope that the aforementioned tricks will be helpful for you in resolving this irritating problem.
