Adding an extender to the network
You can connect your extender to the gateway’s Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Pair wirelessly using WPS
1. Ensure both your 5G Gateway and Extender are powered on, and your 5G
Gateway is connected to the AT&T cellular network.
2. For the best experience, place the extender within three feet of the
gateway during setup.
3. Press the WPS button on the back of the 5G Gateway. The Wi-Fi LED light will
flash blue to indicate the device is discoverable.
4. Press the WPS button on the back of the Wi-Fi extender. The Wi-Fi LED light
on the Extender will also flash blue.
5. When the WPS connection is established, the Wi-Fi LED light on both the
Extender and 5G Gateway will change to solid blue.
6. The Mesh LED on the Extender will start to flash green while a Mesh
connection is being established.
7. The Mesh LED will illuminate solid green when a Mesh connection is
established.
Note: Any available software updates will download and install
immediately as indicated by a flashing blue System LED, see “Mesh LED
Status Lights” on page 62. The extender will reboot once this process is
complete.
8. You can now unplug the Extender and move it to the desired location.
