signal quality over long distances. An extender repeats the signals from an
existing WiFi router or access point.

Use the Extender in Extender Mode
Place the extender, apply power, and connect it to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
1. Place your extender in the same room as your WiFi router.
Proximity to the WiFi router is required only during the initial setup
process.
2. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green. If
the Power LED does not light, slide the Device On/O switch on the
side of the extender to the On position.
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 WPS LED blinks.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router or access
point.
The WPS LED on the extender lights solid green, the Router Link LED
lights, and the extender connects to your existing WiFi network.
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. Find the new extender network name on your computer or WiFi
device.
The extender’s wireless network name (SSID) changes to your existing
WiFi network name, with _EXT at the end of the name, for example:
• Existing WiFi network name. MyNetworkName
• New extended network name. MyNetworkName_EXT
7
4. Connect your computer or WiFi devices to the new extended WiFi
network.
Use the same WiFi password that you use for your WiFi router.
5. Unplug the extender and move it to a new location closer to the area
with a poor WiFi signal.
The location that you choose must be within the range of your
existing WiFi router network.
6. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green. If
the Power LED does not light, slide the Device On/O switch on the
side of the extender to the On position.
7. Use the Router Link LED on the front panel to help you choose a spot
where the extender-to-router connection is optimal.
8

existing WiFi router network.
10
16. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green. If
the Power LED does not light, slide the Device On/Off switch to the
On position.
Use the Router Link LED to help you choose a spot where the
extender-to-router connection is optimal.
Find the Best Location
If the WiFi signal is weak, the first time you join the extender network, an
arrow LED blinks for two minutes. If this happens, adjust the position of
the extender.
• If the Router Arrow LED blinks, move the extender closer to
the router.
• If the Client Arrow LED blinks, move the computer or WiFi
device closer to the extender.
If no arrow LEDs are lit, the extender is in a good location.
