## What is EdiRange?

EdiRange is a mobile companion app for Edimax smart Wi-Fi Extenders. Smart extenders help to solve Wi-Fi problems and extend wireless coverage to dead zones that your existing signal can’t reach.

EdiRange provides a convenient solution to manage your smart extender and survey your local Wi-Fi environment, with easy-to-understand analytics to help you avoid wireless interference from your neighbors and get the best performance for the wireless devices in your home.

Plus, you can manage the extender’s wireless network and functions such as its guest network feature and Wi-Fi scheduling.
A guest network could be used to keep your Wi-Fi private and secure when you have company in your home, or for children as a parental control function: separate your child’s Wi-Fi network from yours so you can switch it on or off at anytime and have complete control, as well as peace of mind that your kids aren’t online when they shouldn’t be.

And EdiRange’s “good night” mode gives you a quick shortcut to shut down the extender’s Wi-Fi, so when you go to bed you can put your extender to sleep too.

Important:
For EdiRange to function properly, you must be connected to the same LAN as your extender.If you experience problems,connect directly to your extender’s SSID.

### 1/5 — it doesn't work

*2021-12-05*

it doesn't work at all

### 1/5 — Worst thing I’ve used in a long long time.

*2020-12-26, version 1.10*

Had a edimax extender for a while. Worked okay on our old WiFi network. However trying to set it up on the new one has been a fitting end to one of the worst years of my life. The app is outdated and terrible to use. I spend half the time wanting to throw my phone across the room. If you have half a brain try your very best to avoid this god awful waste of time.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-06-08*

The extender works well but this app doesn’t do anything anymore. I used to be able to change the channels to get a better signal. Now the help screen is all I can access. The management screen does nothing.

### 1/5 — Edimax WiFi

*2020-02-27*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Crashes 100%

*2017-08-01*

This app has never been able to start up at all. Once you enter your credentials it spins and then crashes. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Crashes and will not connect

*2017-07-19*

Downloaded this app to help with the management of the extender. It loads and connects to hardware and then when I put in the password 1234 hit enter it crashes, every time. Useless.

### 1/5 — CRASH

*2017-01-19, version 1.05*

All this app does is crash. It's about as worthless as the range extender itself.

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2017-01-17, version 1.05*

This app is garbage. Does nothing but crash. Literally worthless.
