router or access point. Place the extender, apply power, and connect it to
your WiFi network.

3. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on
the extender.
Connect to an Existing WiFi Network
To extend the range of your WiFi network, you must connect the extender
to your existing WiFi network. You can do this in one of two ways:
• Connect with WPS. For more information, see Connect with WPS on
page 6.
• Connect with web browser setup. For more information, see
Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 8.

Connect with WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join a secure WiFi network without
typing the network name and password.
Note: WPS does not support WEP network security. If you are using WEP
security, follow the instructions in Connect with Web Browser Setup on
page 8.
1. Press the WPS button on the side panel of the extender.
The Power LED blinks.
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
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 Connect with Web Browser Setup on page 8.
3. 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.

existing WiFi router network.
4. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet and wait for the Power LED
to light green.

extended WiFi network.
The extender creates a new extended WiFi network. The extender’s
new WiFi network names are based on your existing WiFi network
name, with _EXT at the end of the name.
For example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended WiFi network name. MyNetworkName_EXT.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
8. Test the extended WiFi range by moving your computer or WiFi device
to the area with a poor router WiFi signal:

a. Leave your computer or WiFi device in the area with a poor router
WiFi signal and return to the extender.

WiFi network reaches the area with a poor router WiFi signal
and your network setup is complete.

does not reach the area with a poor router WiFi signal.
You must move the computer or WiFi device closer to the
extender until the Client Link LED turns solid green or amber.
