Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you get the “Connecting to network timed out” error, you can either click “Try Again” to make another attempt, or you can go back to the previous steps and re-enter the WiFi password.

In the vast majority of cases, the culprit is a wrong or incorrect WiFi password. As long as your router and phone are connected to the Internet, and the Mi WiFi repeater is situated close to the router, then the problem is most likely a wrong WiFi password.

If you’re still getting the “Connecting to network timed out” error despite entering the correct password, then you might have to reset the repeater. 

To do that, tap “View details” and then “Add Device Again.” 

Follow the instructions for resetting the repeater. 

You will have to insert a pin into the reset button for at least 5 seconds and wait for the status light to go off and blink again. 

After that, you’ll have to start the connection process once again.
