 N300 WiF Range Extender
Use the Extender
The extender repeats the signals from an existing WiFi router or access point. Place the 
extender, apply power, and connect it to your WiFi network.
Place the Extender and Apply Power
 To 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.
3.  Wait for the Power LED to light amber and then turn green. 
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the side of 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  9.
• Connect with web browser setup. For more information, see Connect With Web 
Browser Setup on page  10.
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  10.
 To use WPS to connect the extender to your WiFi router:
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.
