Note:
If you press the WPS/Mode button for more than five seconds, the
extender switches to access point mode. When the extender switches
to access point mode, the WPS/Mode LED and Power LED blink and
then the WPS/Mode LED turns off and the Power LED lights solid
green.
2.
Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access point.
When the extender connects to your existing WiFi network, the WPS/Mode LED on the
extender lights solid green and the Router Link LED lights. If the Router Link LED does
not light, try again. If it still does not light, see
Assistant
on page 12.
3.
If your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the extender
to the 5 GHz band.
4.
Unplug the extender and move it to a new location that is about halfway between your router
and the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your existing WiFi router
network.
5.
Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED to light green.
6.
Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router connection
is optimal.
7.
If the Router Link LED doesn't light amber or green, plug the extender into an outlet closer
to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights
amber or green.
8.
On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the new extended WiFi network.
The extender creates two new extended WiFi networks. The extender's new WiFi
network names are based on your existing WiFi network name, with _2GEXT and
_5GEXT at the end of the name.
For example:
•
Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
•
New extended network names. MyNetworkName_2GEXT and
MyNetworkName_5GEXT
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
