Overview
Front
This light indicates power or Wi-Fi Protected Setup status. After initial setup,
if you have client devices, such as wireless printers, that support Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically
configure wireless security for your wireless network.
Power When the extender is powered on, resets to factory
defaults, or upgrades its firmware, the light flashes slowly (every
three seconds). When the extender is ready for use, the light
is continuously lit. If there is an error, the light flashes quickly
(every second); disconnect the extender from the wall mount
socket, wait two seconds, and then reconnect it.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process
is active, the light flashes slowly (every two seconds) for two
minutes. When the Wi-Fi Protected Setup is successful, the light
is continuously lit. If there is an error, the light flashes quickly
(every second) for two minutes; please wait and try again.
