${frame}[](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZuEjcuyo0JA)

### 1. Unpacking
* Remove the Xiaomi AC1200 WiFi Range Extender from the box.
* Plug the extender into a power socket near your existing WiFi router.


###### ⚡ Requirements
* Existing WiFi router with internet access
* Mobile device with internet connection
* Mi Home app (Android/iOS)

### 2. Setting up
* Wait until the LED indicator starts blinking **orange** – this means the extender is ready to pair.
* Download the **Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app** from the App Store or Google Play on your phone or tablet.
* Open the app, log in or create a Xiaomi account, and tap the **"+"** symbol to add a device.
* The app should automatically detect the extender. If not, search manually for **“Mi WiFi Range Extender AC1200”**.
* Follow the on-screen instructions:
    * Select your existing WiFi network.
    * Enter your WiFi password.
* Wait for the configuration to complete. Once finished, the LED will turn **solid blue**, indicating a successful connection.
* Unplug the extender and move it to a spot halfway between your router and the area with weak WiFi signal.
* Plug it in at the new location and wait for the LED to turn solid blue again.


## LED Indicator Guide
* **Blue (solid):** Connected successfully and working properly.
* **Orange (blinking):** Ready to pair.
* **Orange (solid):** Weak signal – try moving the extender closer to the router.

## Troubleshooting
* **No internet after setup?**
Double-check the WiFi password you entered during setup and ensure your main router has an active internet connection.
* **LED stays orange?**
Move the extender closer to your router for a stronger signal.
* **Reset the extender:**
Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button (small pinhole) on the extender for ~5 seconds until the LED starts blinking orange again.

## Important Notes
* **Placement:** For best performance, place the extender roughly halfway between your router and the area where you need better WiFi coverage.
* **Power:** Keep the extender plugged into a stable power source at all times for uninterrupted connectivity.
* **Do not modify:** Avoid changing advanced settings unless you know what you’re doing, as incorrect settings can disrupt your WiFi network.
