Place the Extender and Power It On
1. Place the extender halfway between your router and the location
that has poor WiFi coverage.
If it is not possible to place the extender at the halfway point,
move the extender closer to the location with poor coverage, but
still within the wireless range of the router.
2. Turn the
On/Off
switch
On/Off switch on the side
of the extender to the On position.

New Extender WiFi Network Name
The first time the extender connects to a WiFi network, the extender
WiFi network name (SSID) changes to that network name, with _EXT
at the end. For example:
If the extender does not connect to the WiFi network, move the
extender to a different location with a better WiFi signal. For example,
you might need to move it closer to the router or gateway.
WiFi network name: MyNetworkName
Extender network name: MyNetworkName_EXT

Join the Extender WiFi Network
After you install the extender, you can join the extender WiFi network.
To join the extender network:
1. Take your computer or wireless device to the location with poor
WiFi coverage.
2. Find the new extender network name (MyNetworkName_EXT).
3. Select this network and enter the same WiFi password that you use
for your home network.
4. Within 2 minutes, check the arrow LEDs on the extender.
•If no arrow is lit, the location is good.
•When the extender connects to a network and a client joins
the extender network, an arrow LED blinks for 2 minutes if
the WiFi signal strength is weak to or from the extender.
Blinking left arrow. The extender is too far away from
the router or gateway.
Blinking right arrow. The extender is too far away
from your computer or wireless device.
Note: If you are having trouble getting a good WiFi signal, try to
create a better line of sight. For example, move the router up off the
floor onto a table or desk, or move furniture that might be blocking the
extender.
