How to Fix ‘No Internet Connection’ on BrosTrend WiFi Extender?

Is your brostrend extender doesn’t getting any internet or not even connecting with your host router? Worry not, we will help you to find the what’s the causing factor behind this issue and how you can solve it.

Fixing BrosTrend “No Internet Connection” Error

Here’s what you need to check and do to bring your extender back to life.

1. Double-Check Your Internet Source

Before you poke around the extender, check your main router first. Is your router even connected to the internet?

  1. Try connecting your phone or laptop directly to your main WiFi (not the extender).

  2. If that also shows “No Internet,” then the problem isn’t the extender it’s your router or ISP.

  3. Reboot your router. Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.

  4. Still nothing? Call your internet provider. Might be a temporary outage.

Tip: Always rule out the router before blaming the extender.

2. Check the Extender’s Signal Strength

Your BrosTrend WiFi extender needs a solid connection to the router to function. If it's too far from the router or there's interference, it may show it’s connected but with no actual internet.

  1. Look at the LED lights on your extender.

    1. Green/Blue: Good signal

    2. Orange/Red: Weak signal

    3. No light or blinking red: It’s not connected at all

  2. Move the extender closer to the router. Try placing it halfway between your router and the dead zone.

  3. Avoid placing it near thick walls, microwaves, or cordless phones. They mess with WiFi signals.

3. Reconnect Your Extender to the Router

Sometimes, your extender just loses connection to the router and needs a little reset.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Plug in the BrosTrend extender and wait for it to power up.

  2. Press the WPS button on your router for 2–3 seconds.

  3. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the BrosTrend extender.

  4. Wait for the LED to turn solid indicating a successful connection.

If the WPS method doesn’t work, connect manually via the brostrend setup network (e.g., BrosTrend_EXT) and go to re.brostrend.com in your browser. Follow the on-screen steps to reconnect it to your main WiFi.

Important: Make sure you’re entering the correct WiFi password during setup. One wrong letter, and the extender will still connect to the router but won’t pass any internet through.

4. Forget & Reconnect from the Device Side

Sometimes your phone or laptop gets "stuck" with bad cached data. If your extender is fine but your device says "No Internet", do this:

  1. Go to your device’s WiFi settings

  2. Forget the BrosTrend network

  3. Reconnect fresh

  4. If prompted, allow the connection and check the box for automatic connection in future

You’d be surprised how many issues this simple trick solves.

5. Update Your Extender’s Firmware

Yes, just like your phone needs updates, your BrosTrend extender firmware might be outdated and buggy.

Here’s how to update:

  1. Connect to the extender network

  2. Type re.brostrend.com into your browser

  3. Login with default credentials (usually admin/admin unless you changed it)

  4. Go to the Maintenance or Firmware section

  5. Check for updates and install them

Don’t unplug your extender during the update. Let it finish.

6. Reset the Extender

If you’ve tried everything and your BrosTrend extender still mocks you with “No Internet,” it’s time to hit reset.

  1. Locate the Reset button (usually a tiny hole)

  2. Use a pin or paperclip and press-hold it for 10 seconds

  3. Wait for the extender to reboot

  4. Reconfigure it like its brand new (either via WPS or browser setup)

This clears out any misconfigurations or bugs that may be blocking your internet.

7. Check for IP Conflict or DNS Issues

This one’s a bit advanced, but sometimes the extender gives out an IP that clashes with another device on your network.

  1. Go into your extender settings

  2. Under LAN Settings, check if it's set to Auto IP or Static

  3. Set it to Auto/DHCP

  4. Save and reboot

Also, try changing DNS to Google’s Public DNS:

  1. Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

  2. Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

The Conclusion

Hope you have seen and learned why there is no internet when connected with the BrosTrend extender and resolve it with the help of the above given tips and solutions.
