The following is an log example of ezhotspot extender trying to connect to a remote hotspot (multiple access points with the same SSID) with   Auto Recovery   function disabled.

Below examples show the possible problems:

  • Cannot establish physical wireless handshaking due to weak wireless signal.

  • Can establish physical wireless handshaking but link is not possible for data or remote hotspot error.
