Installation Guide
3. Connect to your WiFi router.
Press the
WPS
button on the extender. The Link Rate LEDs and Device to
Extender LED blink green. Within two minutes, press the
WPS
button on your
WiFi router. After a few seconds, the 2.4 GHZ Link Rate LED lights green,
indicating a good connection between your WiFi router and your extender.
If the 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED does not light, or the LED is blinking amber, try
again. If the LED still do not light, follow the instructions for No WPS button on
the right.
4. Add a WiFi band.
If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band (not all routers do), and you want to
extend that band, repeat Step 2 and check that the 5 GHz Link Rate LED lights
green to confirm the connection.
6. Connect your WiFi devices.
Take your WiFi device to the location with poor WiFi router coverage. Find the
new extender network name:
Existing network name:
MyNetworkName
New extended network name:
MyNetworkName
_2GEXT
or
MyNetworkName
_5GEXT
Select the new network and use your WiFi router password to connect. You
are now using your extended WiFi network.
5. Choose a location and check the signal strength.
Now that the extender is connected to your WiFi router, you can move it to a
location that will boost your WiFi range. The location you choose must be
within the range of your existing WiFi router network. Plug the extender into
an electrical outlet.
The Link Rate LEDs help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal. See the Indicator LEDs section on the back to learn how
the LEDs show the best connection. If you get no connection or a poor
connection, move the extender closer to your WiFi router and try again until
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Link Rate LED lights green.
