6. Plug the extender into an electrical outlet.
7. Use the Link Rate LEDs
to help you choose a spot where the extender-to-router
connection is optimal.
8. If the Router Link LED does not light amber or green, plug the extender into an outlet closer
to the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router Link LED lights
amber or green.
9. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the WiFi network.
Note: Your extender uses the same WiFi network settings as your router for
its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz extended networks.
For example, if your extender connects to the router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band, your extender
uses your router
’s 2.4 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Extended 5 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample
If your extender connects to the router’s 5 GHz WiFi band, your extender uses your
router
’s 5 GHz WiFi settings for both its networks:
• Router 2.4 GHz WiFi network name. MyWiFiExample
• Router 5 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 2.4 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5G
• Extended 5 GHz W
iFi network name. MyWiFiExample-5GTest the extended WiFi
range by moving your computer or WiFi device to the area with a poor router WiFi
signal:
Note: Since your router and extended networks share the same WiFi
network name, only one WiFi network name is broadcast.
