The back panel contains the following components:
WPS button. Use this button to connect WPS-enabled devices to the extender.
Ethernet ports. Use the two Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN ports to connect the extender to LAN devices.
Power On/Off button and Power LED. Press the Power On/Off button to provide power to the extender.
The Power LED lights green when the extender is ready.

seconds, the Power LED blinks amber, and the extender returns to its factory settings.
When to Use Your Extender
We recommend that you connect through the extender network only when your WiFi device is in a “dead
zone” where connection from the existing network is poor or nonexistent. Data traffic routed through the
extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network.
How the Extender Works
The extender works like a bridge between a WiFi router (or a WiFi access point) and a WiFi device outside
the range of the WiFi router. The extender performs two main jobs:
The extender connects to a working WiFi network.
When the extender connects over WiFi to an existing network, it functions as a network client, similar
to how a WiFi device connects to a network.
The extender acts as an access point for WiFi devices.
The extender broadcasts its own WiFi network that WiFi devices can join. In its role as an access point,
the extender performs tasks that WiFi routers do, such as broadcasting its network name (SSID).
The extender must do each of these jobs so that both ends of the bridge are in place.
