This section addresses frequently asked questions and common issues users may encounter with the WN588HX3.

Image: A detailed Q&A section providing solutions for issues such as advertised distance not being reached, inability to repeat existing WiFi, and PoE compatibility.

Why the WiFi signal does not reach the advertised distance?

• Ensure there are no obstructions between the WAVLINK device and the target area. Obstacles can significantly limit performance.
• Install the WAVLINK device 2-3 meters higher than the ground for better performance.
• Confirm that the 2.4G antennas are installed on the 2.4G connectors and 5G antennas on the 5G connectors.

Why the device cannot repeat the existing WiFi signal?

• If your phone connects to the device but redirects to a webpage (Captive Portal), it means the WiFi signal is coming from a Captive Portal network, which cannot be repeated directly.
• When attempting to repeat an existing WiFi signal, ensure you enter the correct WiFi password.
• For 5G signal repetition, try to reduce wireless interference on the 5G channel.
