WPS Setup - reset

Page 13 highlights

WPS Setup Note: Please ensure the extender is ready (power LED ( ) on, not flashing) before activating WPS. If your wireless router/access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) then you can use this method to set up your Wi-Fi extender's 2.4GHz & 5GHz network. The extender's WPS is dependent on your router's access/point WPS - so if you activate WPS for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on your router/access point, the extender will connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi when you activate its WPS. To additionally set up your extender's 5GHz Wi-Fi you would then need to repeat the process but activate WPS for 5GHz Wi-Fi, not 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, on your router/access point. For the EW-7238RPD the WPS setup process is the same for 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz Wi-Fi. Whether the extender connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or 5GHz Wi-Fi is entirely dependent on your router/access point and which of its frequency bands you activate WPS for. Note: Please take care not to hold the WPS button for too long - this may result in inadvertently resetting the extender or router/access point. 1. Press and hold the WPS/Reset button on the wireless router/access point for the correct length of time (check router/access point's user manual) to activate its WPS for 2.4GHz or 5GHz. 12
