Mac: II-2. WPS Setup Note: The next section WPS Setup describes an alternative setup method to iQ Setup. If you already completed iQ Setup, it is not necessary to perform 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. 18

WPS Setup
Note:
The next section WPS Setup describes an
alternative setup method to iQ Setup. If you already
completed iQ Setup, it is not necessary to perform
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.
