Should I do a factory reset on Wifi Extreme?

Wifi Extreme is a more permanent solution on a 5G router platform with an external roof antenna. Always check the power, an active SIM, data, roaming and that the antenna cables are on the right connectors according to Wifi.se’s picture guide before changing advanced settings.

Note: A factory reset clears your own settings. Start with a normal restart and basic troubleshooting, unless a Wifi.se guide says otherwise.

When troubleshooting, it is best to change only one thing at a time. That makes it easier to see which step actually solves the problem.

Restart or reset?

A normal restart switches the router off and on again without deleting your settings. A factory reset, on the other hand, returns the device to its default settings. So do not do a factory reset as a first step if a normal restart is enough.

Good to know

Wifi Extreme is a more advanced router solution where the mobile network, antennas, APN and network selection can be set in more detail. Always start with the basic checks before changing advanced settings, because a wrong APN, manual network selection or a badly connected antenna cable can stop the internet completely.
