I’m no tech genius, but I’ve had my fair share of fights with patchy Wi-Fi. If you’ve ever tried getting a strong signal in that one weird corner of your house—maybe a basement, maybe a back room—you know the pain. That’s exactly why I bought a Wavlink repeater in the first place.

Thing is, even after setting it up (and going through the Wavlink repeater login process, there was still one spot that just refused to cooperate. So I figured out—what if I added another repeater? One more won’t hurt, right? Well, it turns out, yes, you can connect another one. But it wasn’t that simple. Let me walk you through what worked for me.

A Quick Word on What Repeaters Really Do

Before even buying one, I had to actually understand how repeaters work. From what information I gathered, I’m oversimplifying here for you to understand it clearly. A repeater just catches your router’s Wi-Fi signal and throws it further out. It doesn’t improve the speed; it simply stretches the coverage.

Adding a second repeater to that chain means the signal hops again. And with each hop, the strength takes a hit. I definitely noticed that once I tried the two-repeater setup.

Start With the Right Repeater

I used a mid-range Wavlink Repeater. First thing I checked was whether my model could handle multiple repeaters in a chain. Turns out it can, but not all can. If you flip your repeater over, the model number should be on a sticker. Look it up first before you go down this road.

Also, a quick note — I realized my firmware was outdated, so I updated it before setting anything else up. That alone smoothed out some weird glitches I was having.

Accessing the Settings via Wavlink Login

To poke around and make changes, I had to login to the repeater. I did this by:

1. Connecting my laptop to the repeater’s Wi-Fi signal.

2. Typing 192.168.10.1 into the browser.

3. Logging in using the default Wavlink login credentials (usually “admin” for both).

Once inside, I could see the signal strength, network name, and whether any devices were connected. That gave me a decent sense of whether the repeater was working properly before adding another into the mix.

Setting Up the Second Repeater

This part was a bit of a learning curve. You have two main options here:

Option 1: Both Repeaters Connect to the Router

If your router’s signal reaches both repeaters directly, this is the cleaner setup. I just followed the Wavlink extender setup instructions again for the second unit, this time placing it closer to the back room where coverage was weak. During setup, I connected it directly to the router’s network.

It worked way better than I expected, honestly. Speeds were consistent, and the connection didn’t drop like it used to.

Option 2: Daisy-Chaining Repeaters

This is what I tried at first. The second repeater connects to the first one, which is already extending the router's signal. So you’re repeating a repeated signal. It does technically work, but the connection was weaker and noticeably slower. I’d only suggest this if the second repeater can’t reach the router directly at all.

Placement Made a Big Difference

I had spent a full hour walking around with my phone, running speed tests. A few feet to the left or right made a major difference in performance.

Also, something I didn’t think about at first: your device doesn’t always automatically switch to the best signal. So I gave each repeater a unique Wi-Fi name. That way I could pick the strongest one manually, depending on where I was.

Don't Skip the Wavlink Extender Setup Steps

Seriously, even if it seems like a chore. The process isn’t long, but it’s easy to rush and mess up a step. I used the Wavlink extender setup page for both repeaters and made sure I was connecting to the right source each time (router for one, repeater for the other).

Once you go through the setup, give your network a minute or two to stabilize. I noticed things didn’t kick in instantly.

What Actually Worked for Me

After testing both methods, I ended up keeping both repeaters connected directly to the router. That gave me a stable signal across the whole house without losing too much speed.

If your layout forces you to daisy-chain them, it can work — just don’t expect blazing-fast internet. It’s a trade-off, but for basic browsing or streaming music, it’s probably fine.

Wrapping Up

To answer the question: yes, you can connect one more repeater to your Wavlink repeater. It just depends on how you do it and what you expect from it.

Start with checking your model, log in to the settings using the Wavlink login page, and go through the Wavlink extender setup carefully. Test everything, move things around a bit, and see what gives you the best results. Took me a couple of tries, but I got there. Hope this post helps you skip a bit of the trial and error I went through.
